During The Walking Dead episode of Conan last night, host Conan O’Brien interviewed Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon) and asked him if he was always a fan of horror. Turns out, Reedus loved The Omen as a kid and used to act like Damien to terrify certain adults:
“My favorite movie growing up was The Omen. I used to have a second or third grade teacher that I would stare at like I was Damien…She came up to me at the end of the year and said ‘Norman, why do you hate me?’ and I go “I don’t hate you, what are you talking about?’ But I was so enthralled with the fact that I could make somebody older than me squirm, so I would just stare at her the whole time.”
Conan responded to the story by saying “What a creepy thing to do!”The Walking Dead returns February 9, 2014 on AMC.
