‘It’s definitely hard on him,’ the actor tells EW.
‘He’s trying to survive.’
Talk about breaking bad.
Which is what made his recent turn to the dark side so painful to watch.
Of course, it also led to some great work from the man who plays him, Josh McDermitt.
But I think Im good with never crying again in my life.
Because you kind of have to live in that headspace.
And thats kind of where I am now in my head, and Im like, This sucks!
Man, Norman youre right!
Meanwhile, hes over there dancing a jig going, I dont have to cry, I feel great!
I think were trying to beatGame of Thronesin that sense.
And a lot of times when you have that much cast, people can get lost in the shuffle.
Andy and I go golfing all the time.
I beat him at golf a lot.
So instead of fighting that, I can use that for the character.
Hes trying to survive.
Hes trying to do the right thing, and it is hard to see people like Sasha dying.
Hes not Daryl, you know?
So its very hard on him to see his friends die.
I think he just wants to ensure that he continues living and survival of the fittest, I guess.
Is he still firmly Negan?Hes firmly Negan.
He either chooses Alexandria or he chooses Negan, and hes decided to go with Negan.
So as long as hes living in the Sanctuary, hes Team Negan.
Hes starting to change his appearance.
Maybe hes going to start wearing Tapout shirts and Oakleys and get sleeve tattoos.
