Norman Reedus & The Walking Dead Cast Talk Season 9

What up young Hollywood? Rubanville is sitting here at Paley Fest 2019 and we're going to do a little chit and a chat with the cast of The Walking Dead. Let's go.

I'm here with Mr. Norman Reedus. How are you, man?

I'm good. I just, I just flew in like an hour ago. So, I'm a little

Where were you?

Uh, I was in Costa Rica and then I did Jimmy Fallon last night in New York and then came straight here.

Look at, look at you. Just little Mercedes-Benz problems. No big deal.

Well, mostly doing the uh I you know I shoot I shoot ride on the hiatus of Walking Dead. So we did Uruguay, we did Costa Rica. Um I I leave for Kentucky in the morning. Uh we're going to Japan right after that.

Ooh, Harigato Gazamas.

Yeah, absolutely yeah.

So I'm here with Ryanhurst. Happy Paley Fest.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Dude, I'm loving the whole fit. I'm loving everything. The hair blowout. Look, boom. Come through. Get it.

I am such a fan of everything that you ladies are wearing tonight. Like you guys look so bomb. For real.

I thank you. This is Eveleje and um I know. Do I do I say it right? Let's hope I say it right, right?

I think I think you did. You probably said it better than I did. I have to get my side language together. Hold on. I got it right? I got it right. Right.

Nice to meet you. I love it. Oh my God. You look so gorgeous. The curls bouncing. You're you're coming through.

Well, thank you.

All right, first and foremost, the fit. Extra crispy.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I love. Do you watch Drag Race though? Have you noticed my T-shirt? Come through. You better represent. Right. Vanjie's my favorite this season. I hope she doesn't let me down. She's so cool. So, I had to wear it.

Put yourself in the the seat of the viewer. What would you like to see in season 9?

Season 9 of Walking Dead? Uh well, there's two more episodes. So, I'm pretty I I got an idea what's about to happen. Um you know and I like where it's going. So but uh season 10, I don't know, man. Uh season 10 would be a different story. We have so many good new cast members on the show. I'd like to I'd like to see a lot more um of the priest, Father Gabriel. I and and I love what Eugene's doing, what Josh is doing this year. This show keeps reinventing itself. Every time you think you have the show sort of cornered and oh this show is this, this show is that. It evolves into something new. And especially by the very, very end of this season. You're going to see things you've never seen before. That's all I can tell you.

I told myself my whole life. I really wanted to do something that was a little scary because I wanted it to like desensitize me because I get so scared of horror films and things of that nature. So this really it did it. It desensitized me. So now I I mean obviously when I watch it it's a little bit more like homework but I totally watch it in bed.

There might be something interesting happening with Dog.

Oh. Okay. Okay, a little something. That's that's something, I guess.

You just have to watch. I can't give anything.

Sugar, sorry. I'm going to know behind the scenes, crafty, what's like your go-to like meal snack, tell us it.

Those little wasabi peas. I can have like three of those and then I'm like

Those are dangerous.

Yeah, those are dangerous.

Is it little corn cake things? What are they called? The skinny Oh my God, what is the the right the Oh my God, what is it? Pop chips, something pop those.

Something like that.

There you go. Those. Yeah, those get me through.

My favorite crafty snack let's see. It can be weird. It can be like a weird

Anything with nuts.

Boom.

Last But not least, the corn cakes are to die for. I can't stop with them.

Lastly, one word to describe the new season.

Sick.

Sick.

Um, can I say everything?

Yes. Listen, it can be several words in It encompasses it everything.

It's everything you're going to want out of the show. It is the show. It is the reason people love this show. We have some really badass characters right now.

Thrilling.

Thrilling. Yes.

Thrilling. Yes.

Sensational.

I wanted more words. I wanted loads more words.

I was going to say terrifying. I was going to say terrifying because of the whisperers, right? I mean, they're not the most scary things you've ever seen. I'm not a fan. Don't ever watch The Walking Dead right before you go to bed. No, don't do that. It's not a vibe. No, don't do that. No, that's crazy. Don't ever do that. Watch it like in the daytime and then go out and like be in nature and be normal because you've got to like adjust, you know what I mean? Otherwise, it's just it's too much. Right.

Now, lastly, congratulations on family. Oh. Dude. Your baby's name, what what's his name again?

Uh I did uh Betty White the III.

Yes. I love it. I love it. Well, congratulations on everything. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Yes, a pleasure.
