There have been rumours that Norman Reedus didn’t want Daryl Dixon on “The Walking Dead” to be gay. But on Monday, Reedus went on Twitter to clear things up.
After a lot of fan and media speculation about Daryl’s sexuality—and after the show’s creator, Robert Kirkman, hinted that he might be gay—Inquisitr, citing The Globe, which in turn cited Celeb Dirty Laundry, wrote that Reedus begged “The Walking Dead” producers not to make Daryl gay because he didn’t want to lose his many female fans:
People close to him say that he worries that the same-sex shocker would hurt his ratings by making his many female fans sad. In his personal life, Norman is not against gay people, but he has become one of the most famous male sex symbols on TV. Every week, women send him thousands of fan letters and dozens of marriage proposals.
