Norman Reedus

NORMAN REEDUS IS ARGUABLY TELEVISION’S FAVORITE BADASS.

“I’m kind of the guy who, if there was a zombie apocalypse, I’d probably find someplace nice to hide.”

or the past 10 years, he has played Daryl Dixon, the gruff motorcycle-driving Southerner. But Reedus is quick to point out he’s nothing like Daryl. “I’m completely different. I’m a complete neat freak,” Reedus says. “I’m kind of the guy who, if there was a zombie apocalypse, I’d probably find someplace nice to hide. I wouldn’t have that same bravado as Daryl does.” The one similarity the two do share is a love of motorcycles, a love displayed on both and Reedus’ reality show , also on AMC, where he invites celebrity guests to ride with him around the world. “It kind of started out as a gearhead show,” Reedus says, but over the past four seasons, the show has become “looser” and more “fun,” with guests including Marilyn Manson, the late Peter Fonda and co-stars Melissa McBride and Steven Yeun. “It’s me being a total goofball the entire time with really cool guests.”
