AMC’s Walking Dead Blog got a chance to sit down with Norman Reedus to talk about Episode 5 where Daryl played a huge role in the episode’s plot. In the interview Reedus talks about the necklace of ears, what it’s like using a crossbow, and whether or not he’s an outdoorsman like his character Daryl, among other things.
Q: Last year you told us you had never used a crossbow before. You must be pretty comfortable with the thing by now?
A: [Laughs] I’m pretty well-versed in crossbow-ness by now, but I’m still figuring out new ways to use it all the time. These days I can flip it around my back or use it to prop a shotgun up. I’ve gotten good at running and shooting it, too. My latest accomplishment is that I can jump on a horse and hook the reins onto the horn of the saddle and flip it over my back and load and fire it while riding. You can’t not look cool with a crossbow.
Q: The zombie actors must cringe when they have a scene with you.
A: You have to dry fire on set — and it’s with another wimpy crossbow, with the tension let out. If it’s a close range zombie kill, like that episode where I roll over on my back and shoot a zombie who’s on top of me, it’s with that Nerf-like crossbow.
Q: Daryl is a survivalist and outdoors type of guy. Are you like that?
A: [Laughs] I’ve been camping and stuff, but if you left me in the woods I’d probably just curl up and cry until someone found me. I have to say living in Georgia while shooting The Walking Dead — I love the country. I’ve been riding my motorcycle in my time off, not seeing anyone for hours. I love it here.
