Actor Norman Reedus berates reports saying that he is against his 'The Walking Dead' character Daryl Dixon to become a homosexual.
Reedus has just become a victim of irresponsible journalism and misquoting, just like many celebrities. According to a report by Inquisitr, the actor does not welcome the idea of playing a gay role in the mega hit zombie survival series.
Inquisitr reported that Reedus had urged the producers to avoid making Daryl gay, as it this might hurt The Walking Dead's ratings.
"Insiders say he fears the same-sex shocker would hurt ratings by disappointing his legions of female fans. Norman isn't anti-gay in his personal life, but he's become one of the biggest male sex symbols in television," the report says.
Reedus took it to Twitter to slam the report, and even included a link of the said article.
In the October issue of GQ magazine, he revealed that he has spoken to TWD creator, Frank Darabont, about the possibility of Daryl being "unsure" with the matters of the heart despite his intense survival skills. Reedus commented that this kind of twist will surprise people and make the show and his character even more interesting.
"[Darabont said] Well, he's prison gay — like, you'll catch him looking at a member of the same sex, but if you mention it to him, he'll just stab you and be like what the f**k?—he will never admit it.' I was like, 'That'll blow minds — let's do that.' And he said, 'I knew I hired you for a reason," explained Reedus in the GQ interview.
Yup. And after this, there will be an effort to legalize illegal alien walkers from Mexico. Then there will be a rally where walkers demand to vote without ID. Then there will be a zombie who comes up with an alternative to dirty coal so we can save the planet from Global Warming.
Too many people watch and they simply cannot resist. It's the old tale of the frog and the scorpion all over again.
I'm aware of that.............
Now take the spoon out of your nose DREET..........
Actually Andrea adapted well until she started thinking with her female parts instead of her brain. There never was any hope for Dale who reminded me of George Will.
Agreed. I like the series, but geez, if they’re going down this road, I’m done. I’ve got better things to do with my time.
I’m really hoping Morgan turns up tonight.
I think he’s a total badass after all that time on his own.
Get out of your urine-soaked underwear and go to an AA meeting, you decrepit old drunk.
You may be right. We’ll see.
Reedus just doesn’t want his career destroyed by the ‘fag mafia’.
Which would happen if he didn’t speak up and toe the Liberal line.
Advertisers love perverts, perverts will buy anything at any price.
Now THAT's the old self absorbed, obnoxious coke head I remember......LOL!
Death by ratings, then.
Learn from my example, go to detox, get a sponsor, and attend 12 step meetings.
Work the Steps and clean your drunk a&& up.
“The thing about Hollywood is they’re not actually attempting to do anything to advance gay people ... Hollywood is laughing AT them, not WITH them.”
So many instances negate these claims. Here are just a few:
- Will and Grace was the first serious shot to win over women to support the homos. It was unfortunately successful.
- ThirtySomething presented homosexuals in a relationship that was just as ‘normal’ as the other normal couples in the show.
- Halt and Catch Fire had a gratuitous homo scene involving its lead character.
But: DO NOT just quit alcohol cold turkey. Someone as bad as you, that could kill you. Make sure to get in a supervised detox environment, where they monitor your blood pressure and other essentials.
“I wish Merle hadn’t died but he did go out on a high note saving everyone else.”
Through his self-sacrifice, Merle gave us the most meaningful and consequential death in the whole series.
there's only one problem with your advice, I don't drink and never have..............
I liked the scene where he was herding the walkers by jamming Ted Nugent on the stereo.
Bah, the advertisers won’t let them do it.
Women are almost as desired by advertisers, and there are a lot more of them.
Funny that a female friend of mine has been complaining for a year about ‘Daryl’ not “getting any”.
Agreed! She’s one tough cookie, as are the other gals on the show. Rick may finally be growing a pair. I was ready to see him gone. Not sure who Darrel cares about—Carol or Beth.
