Did Jobs really walk like a duck zombie in real life?

I could never get past how Ashton walked like that. If Jobs actually walked that way in real life I don't think it was as pronounced as shown on screen. The walk, though, pales in comparison to all the other ways this movie fails to achieve any coherent and authentic retelling of an icon's life.

Pros: Cinematography was great. Gad and Mulroney were great supporting players.
Cons: Everything else.

The walking was exaggerated and unintentionally funny. I LOLed the first time I saw that.

It actually made me kind of seasick! I mentioned it to my husband, and he said that jobs did walk like that. He is an engineer, and apparently they kind of joke about it. (Yes, engineers are strange. Lol)

I dont think Steve JObs walked like that. He had some little imbalance when walking on stage while keeping his hands together but that was mainly after the effects of cancer and losing so much weight.

Ashton Kutcher walks like a very old exaggerated version of Steve Jobs in his last days.

Watch at 00:40 and 19:56, thats young Steve Jobs, walks pretty normal to me.

All I know is that Napoleon Dynamite makes a cameo at 1:42.

If you're a religion, you can have a canon. If you're a scifi franchise, get over yourself.

Agreed - it seems quite often that the movie suffers from lack of continuity and depth of delving into important milestones and topics.

As for the walk see my thread here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2357129/board/thread/225946531

I found his walk quite funny, and also wondered if Jobs, or anyone, could possibly walk like that in real life.

Most tellingly, it strongly reminded me of Groucho Marx's deliberately-hilarious style of walking in many of the Marx Brothers movies. I figured Ashton Kutcher was trying to impersonate Groucho Marx, or maybe Kutcher was impersonating Jobs impersonating Groucho...
