In a candid and humorous exchange, actors Christopher Walken and John Turturro recently sat down to interview each other, sharing memories and insights from their long-standing friendship and collaborative history in the entertainment industry. The conversation, which took place ahead of the much-anticipated second season of the Apple TV+ series “Severance,” took a nostalgic turn as they reminisced about their early days at Yale Drama School and notable projects they’ve worked on together.

When asked about the evolving relationship between their characters, Irving and Bert, Walken playfully dodged the question regarding whether it would become romantic, emphasizing their deep bond. “We’ve known each other a long time,” he noted, hinting at their strong platonic connection. Turturro chimed in, suggesting that, in his view, the characters are already together, jokingly proposing they open a restaurant named “Burton Irvings.”

Their conversation shifted to fond memories of past projects, including shooting “Search and Destroy” in frigid conditions, where they experienced camera malfunctions due to the cold.

Despite their playful banter, both actors expressed genuine admiration for each other, with Walken considering Turturro a consistent presence in his career.
