When Fallon asked Reedus if he saw a whole bunch of naked people when tossing out beads, Reedus said, “I was a little disappointed, because I didn’t see a whole lot of boobs. I think that’s what the tourist do on Bourbon Street, but not the locals.”4. Laurie Anderson Inspired Norman Reedus’ Twitter Handle – When Reedus was little, he went to a concert of Laurie Anderson. During her song Sharkey’s Day, she sings the “sun’s coming up like a big bald head.” Those words stuck with Reedus, and he uses “big bald head” as  the name of his production company and Twitter handle.3.

Norman Reedus Has A Titanium Eye Socket – One time when Reedus was in Berlin his car got hit by an eighteen wheeler, and he was injured. When he was in the hospital, they had to put in a titanium eye socket. Of course, Fallon asked the most obvious question of if Reedus could shoot lasers or anything out of it.
