Jeffrey Dean Morgan Talks The Walking Dead & Playing Negan | Don't Read The Comments | Men's Health

(Jeffrey laughs)

- Oh, y'all are such dicks.

It's a picture of me and Javier Bardem.

(upbeat music)

I am Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

I'm gonna look at some stuff you guys write.

And we'll see how that works out for all of us.

"How do you make "The Boys" even filthier?

Add Jeffrey Dean Morgan."

Can you please tell us something about Season 4?

Well, no.

I can't.

Well, I can't tell you much about "Dead City"

and I can't tell you much about "The Boys,"

but I will tell you to watch.

And I do make it filthier.

(cartoony laughter)

(Jeffrey laughs)

Oh, y'all are such dicks.

It's a picture of me and Javier Bardem.

I'd be at like the airport or I could be anywhere,

grocery store.

And I'd literally get tackled by somebody,

like speaking Spanish at a hundred miles an hour

or being told congratulations on the birth of my daughter.

"Farm Guy Fit is the best fit.

What's the workout?"

And there is a photo of me with my wood.

(Jeffrey chuckles)

With my wood.

I haven't been in a gym since "Watchmen,"

so it is farm fit.

Chopping wood is a big part of staying fit.

Throwing hay bales around

and motorcycle ride has been our new thing too.

And it's a workout

because I have George connected to me as usual.

Don't tell my wife by the way

that I take my five year old off dirt bike jumps.

(bell dings)

"I will never get over the scene."

- Please do this for me!

Say you'll do this, please!

(Izzie cries)

- Okay.

- Yeah, I won't either, I remember that.

It was lightning in a bottle.

It is what I can say.

When people were watching that show

and those numbers will never ever be seen again

in the history of television.

This character took off with the public

and that storyline became such a big deal.

I didn't want to die.

I was real mad when I died on that show.

All right, next.

"I wonder what his best grooming secret is.

He looks amazing."

I'm not really good at the grooming thing.

I think that the only grooming tip I have is try

to smell decent.

- Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

- And that's about it.

"How did they meet and what do they do to kick back?

I must know."

It is my main bromance.

When we're together there's a lot of laughing,

there's a lot of motorcycle riding.

We had the same manager in the '90's

that I think fired us both

'cause neither of us was working then.

And then cut to, you know,

25 years later or 30 years later,

however long it's been, and we're both doing okay,

and I often wonder what that manager's thinking.

"I wish Maggie and Negan would just kiss

and get it over with."

(Jeffrey chuckles)

- Thought you're better on your feet.

- Good to see you too.

- Yeah, me too.

"Which tattoo means the most?"

When Hilarie and I got married

at our wedding, we had a tattoo artist.

Everyone at that wedding got a tattoo,

including like grandmas and stuff.

So we went and saw this dude again

and I got my daughter's name.

She had written it for me.

And then she added blood.

As I was walking out the door and she said,

"Daddy, it's 'cause the blood makes it badass."

(Jeffrey laughs)

"I wonder how similar Negan is to Jeffrey."

- I think it would be enjoyable

to screw your brains out.

(slap impacts)

- Really? Do you?

Is that what you're thinking?

He's not real similar.

Other than he does have a good sense of humor.

That's kind of why I like him so much.

I mean, look, he's not all bad.

I know some of y'all out there

just think he's the most horrible person in the world.

I would disagree with you all day.

And I'd be right because he's a character

that I have helped create.

So you don't know what you're talking about

if you hate him, but there you go.

"Tell me this means you're playing

the live action Omni-Man."

No, it just means

that I very much enjoy reading Robert Kirkman's work.

"I wonder what that day on the set was like."

I remember, we filmed all night that first night.

It was two nights it took film that scene.

I'm very, very, very, very dyslexic.

It was like a 15 page monologue.

- I need you to know me.

- As well as a lot of action as you remember.

And everyone that was part of that scene,

they were acting their pants off.

They didn't talk, but it was so much emotion.

It was so heavy, it was so dark.

And as a fan of the show, I knew who Negan was.

So it was a lot of stuff going on for me.

All right, I heard what you all had to say.

I responded the best way I know how

without, you know, swearing and being off color.

I appreciate your time and I hope I've answered

to your liking and if I haven't, sorry.

Love you. Bye.
