Nobody ever said Daryl Dixon is gay, “Walking Dead” star Norman Reedus clarifies in the latest episode of TheWrap‘s “Drinking with the Stars.”
“Walking Dead” executive producer and comic book creator Robert Kirkman said last summer that the idea of Dixon being gay “has been discussed,” and that AMC “absolutely would” allow that possibility, but Reedus said it never got past the point of discussion.
“There’s a character in the comic book named Jesus, who is gay and he’s badass. Somebody in a panel asked Robert [Kirkman], ‘Is that going to be Daryl’s story?’ And he said, ‘Well, we’ve talked about it,’” Reedus explained to TheWrap’s Greg Gilman.
