To say that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has had a varied career would be quite the understatement. His work has spanned both film and television however it’s his introduction into The Walking Dead that has had everybody talking.
After the cliff-hanger ending of Season 6 came the premiere of Season 7 which contained one of the most memorable TV moments of the year as viewers were swerved in grotesque fashion. Many may had predicted one of the characters biting the dust – but two? Now that’s just uncalled for! It seems as if Lucille was a little hungry.
In a recent interview on The Talking Dead, Jeffrey Dean Morgan explained how his take on Negan hasn’t gone down too well with some fans:
” I was out with Norman the other day. We drove our motorcycles to get a coffee somewhere and we’re sitting outside drinking our coffee and some lady—and she’s probably 70-years-old—comes up and she just looks at me and goes, ‘You asshole.’ And of course Norman falls on the ground laughing. And she’s like [to Norman], ‘Oh, I love you.’ And then she looks at me again with just hate in her eyes and she goes, ‘I wanna know where you live.’ And he starts telling her! I think I have to prepare myself for kind-of more of that fan reaction.”
So there you have it. Apparently Jeffrey Dean Morgan is an asshole.
Obviously, this is all just a bit of fun but when an actor receives this sort of reaction from fans, then there’s simply no higher honor. For people to get so heavily invested in the show is a credit to all involved, especially the actors who bring the characters to life.
