WALKEN ACCEPTS HASTY PUDDING HONOUR

Actor CHRISTOPHER WALKEN sang while dressed in drag when he collected his Man Of The Year award from Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatrical Society on Friday (15Feb08).

Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals present Man of the Year Hasty Pudding Pot to Christopher Walken. Cambridge, Massachusetts - 15.02.08

The Oscar winner donned a bra and brown wig, danced and sang a song from movie Hairspray before accepting the wacky honour from the prestigious Massachusetts college's amateur theatrical organisation.

Walken admitted he would "have prepared or had a couple of drinks" had he known what was in store at the ceremony, adding, "I hope nobody's watching. I acted on this stage in a play about 20 years ago."

The 64-year-old later admitted he was "amazed and thrilled" by the honour.

Talisa Friedman, press manager for the Hasty Pudding drama troupe, said Walken exemplifies the Hasty Pudding spirit and the value it puts on fun.

Actress Charlize Theron collected the Hasty Pudding Woman Of The Year award earlier this month (Feb08).
