During their chat, Colbert also asked Walken, “What is something that people might not expect to find in Christopher Walken’s home?”

The answer? Muhammad Ali’s boxing trunks. “He inscribed them,” Walken revealed, adding that the late boxer also wrote the year 1971 and the phrase, “The real champ,” inside.

“When I got them, I had them framed and they’ve been there ever since,” Walken said.

Walken said that he met Ali only once at a movie premiere.

“When it was over, people were kind of standing around and he said to me ‘Do you box?’ and I said ‘No, not at all,’ and he said ‘Pretty boy,’ " Walken recounted. “That was a long time ago.”
