Norman also said that he plays Daryl as if he's a virgin and simply doesn't know how to deal with sexual advances/opportunities because of his past (abuse & neglect). I like that take on his character, personally. Idk if that totally makes him asexual, but his character came a long way from season 1.
I think that does make him asexual, asexuality means not feeling sexually atracted to anyone which we havent seen, i can imagine hes also aromantic, since he never feels romantic atraction towards anyone as weve seen
@@mlynn6498 are you daryl? can you read the mind of a ficitonal character? i didn't know there are a tv screen on everyones head that displays how they feel about others
I hate close minded people! And Norman agreed to play the role if he did turn out to be gay. Who gives he is still a fucking badass! Nothing will change my view on him!
i honestly don't wanna see daryl romantic with anyone. It would just feel awkward to me. I hope they just keep him a Asexual loner character who loves his group like family.
@@vw.okami. Fellow ace here... definitely a valid interpretation, though I personally see him as a romantic asexual (whether that's heteroromantic, biromantic or something else I don't even care)
I think it is just awesome how the cast of Walking Dead knows its own character development even from the graphic novel and not just the script. Walking Dead is such good show. I hope the writers keep the show growing and growing with even more crazy "Walkers"!
This is old news, Kirkman already confirmed Daryl is meant to be straight. Hes just an introverted guy who has a harder time relating to anyone romantically.
I agree. I actually find that very interesting about his character. He has no interest in like sex or anything.. Even though he kinda did have sex with Carol that one time. But like, he has no THRIVE for it. I really like Daryl, and not just cause he's a "badass"
Sara Vestru Yeah, at the prison daryl was sitting on a bus (i believe it was a bus) and carol comes and starts talking to him then shes all "You wanna mess arounddd" With a kissy face, and he just finishes his food and they go off screen together all chuckly.
I get what youre getting at but women dont want him to be gay so they can fuck him. Which is different from straight men saying he better not be. Id rather him not be gay bcuz I don't care for romantic story lines in my zombie flicks.
Tsar15 true, but the straight romance is very subtle and unimportant. Hollywood feels the need to make gay love storylines stick out and make social statements, which I want no part of when Im looking to see zombies eat people.
If Daryl does turn out to be gay... then so what? He's a real great guy in he show, and it really wont change my attitude towards his character at all. hopefully other people out there will agree. :-)
IF HE IS I WILL STOP WATCHING THE SHOW CUS IN THE BIBLE IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE THAT IF TWO IF THE SAME SEX HAVE SEX THEY WILL ROT IN HELL! bless jesus and god.
"Women says you better not be" _ clearly he haven't met the fangirls yet , they called OTP / bromance / ships hahaha and that can bring you ton of fans , that's how most youtubers come to life
I hate that the audience needs characters in relationships like bro this character DEEPLY loves all of his friends, he'd do anything for them, he's so protective of each of them & that alone really is beautiful & so meaningful. His character is probably asexual & they're probably gonna give him a love interest bc ppl were begging for one & that sucks. Daryl really is this badass with a big heart & I love that.
so what? what does representation do except make you feel better about yourself? it shouldn't be forced because of representation; it should be whatever the creator of the universe decided best fit the character
I feel like Daryl seems demi-bisexual, so that he doesn't feel sexually about people until he has an intimate relationship with them. There are many scenes and events that support this if you think about it, plus demisexuality can in some instances be brought on by past trauma. I personally shipped him with Beth, but could also totally ship him with Aaron if they gave them enough time together.
I think it's awesome to have such a popular character who is asexual, hope they decide to keep it that way- or he can just get with Carol already, I'm fine with that too :)
+Lovi Poekimo with Rick!?!? Ew, they need to introduce a new character to be Daryl's boyfriend because right now he's the only hot character in the entire show!
They should make Daryl bisexual. He seems like an open and sensitive guy who also happens to be tough. It's possible he swings both ways. There's been no mention of any bisexual guys in any films or tv shows. People are so obsessed with someone being either one or the other, but there are people who are both.
I think the most beautiful romance of the walking dead was that of Daryl and Beth, it was one of the most beautiful loves that is seen, he taught her to be stronger and more confident and she taught him that there was still hope.❤️
I like how he wouldn't care if his character was gay or not, saying he would rock that roll. I love Daryl (and have a crush on him lol) but if he ended up gay, I'd be fine with that too. Just cause it's Norman. ;) lol
***** LOLOLOLOL!!! They look the same age. Just because Carol has white hair doesn't mean she's ancient. Some people get white hair in their 20's and Carol's face and physique still looks young.
They addressed with the both FEMALE characters Leah and Connie, and they beautifully showed both relationships being all about the character of the person and not just the appearance.
Norman has a youthfulness about him and he speaks like a kid but surprisingly he's 47 years old. It's the long shaggy hair that makes him look young and he has a nice body.
Edward Elric I never said he looks young. I meant he acts young (very youthful personality) and his hair makes him appear younger but his face looks old as dust. I can tell he tries to hide his age with all that hair in his face. He's probably insecure over aging because he has so many adoring female fans..i'd still hit it tho. lol
"Norman is game if his “Walking Dead” character turns out to be gay, but his female fans might take some convincing." Hahaha nah I'm all on board for it!! No need to convince me!
I was hoping he would hook up with Beth, they really seemed to have a certain chemistry, he the rebel, she the innocent ( sort of) farmer's daughter, it would have been interesting but they had to kill her off.
Daryl has an agenda and it's to survive not to get laid. I see him as having tunnel vision; eat kill survive. He has relationships but only with others who have that survival instinct
Daryl should get together with Carol. They are perfect together. But hey its my opinion so please dont say "Carol is too old for him" and " He has no feelings for her".....
Daryl's mystery is a big part of his appeal, so I think showing us his sexuality risks weakening him in a way. Plus, making character LGBT often becomes an excuse for lazy writing. We don't need it. He's fine as he is.
I forget which season it was but I thought he was with Leah for a while . She was very upset later on when she had become the leader of a group ready to kill him.She yeld at him for leaving her .
i really hope Daryl reveals that he's asexual on the show i dont want subtle hints or for it to just be left alone for the viewers to decide i honest to god just want him to say "i'm asexual". As an ace person it would make me so happy for it to be addressed even briefly on the show.
He's in relationship with his crossbow, why would he need anyone else
I would approve but the crossbow has no hole, no hole not a solution.
@@fotuto13😂

I do not no but I need him

@@frogcatdog i don't think he feels any attraction to leah, he did in the past but sexuality is fluid
@@mlynn6498 fair assessment, i never really liked the idea of him and leah even for that brief time
@@mlynn6498 are you daryl? can you read the mind of a ficitonal character? i didn't know there are a tv screen on everyones head that displays how they feel about others
It's strange how he's nearly 50 and yet he has the voice of a 20 year old. (Not implying that's a bad thing!)
Yeah his voice is so cute.
+Haruka Sawamura
I was going to say the same thing, he sounds so young.
I agree with you and I like his voice he's very attractive and a great actor
He’s got a bit of a “surfer dude” way of talking lol. He seems like a super chill guy I love it.
It's so cute! I think it really adds to his personality, it fits since he's so energetic and friendly!
I love Daryl's character and I honestly couldn't care less about his sexuality. He is badass either way.
I hate close minded people! And Norman agreed to play the role if he did turn out to be gay. Who gives he is still a fucking badass! Nothing will change my view on him!
YES
Perfect comment
@@alejandro11y fr, Daryl is the best character and conservatives can go suck it cuz like you did he's pretty badass

He should remain Asexual.
Yes! and the fangirls could weep because no one would end up 'having him' even though it's still impossible but you know.

Twan Wright I don't think they actually did it, she was just teasing him
Now if a guy said 'You better not be!' would have a been a different story.
Your profile pic suits this fucking comment so damn well.
He kind of alluded to that with his older male fans, your point?

Thank you. Finally somebody is saying that :D

“ I would rock that story , I’m not afraid “✨
"im not afraid of that." nailed it
I love him saying yeah he always go's yeah yeah yeah really fast
Norman Reedus is a great actor does his best with any role. Love him!! ❤
"I would rock that story" Hell yeah you would! :D That's the spirit!
Keanu Reeves is 4 years older than Norman Reedus.. Yet keanu looks 10 years younger, #immortalkeanu
And Norman looks like hes 10 years younger than his age. So that would make Keanu look like on his late tweenties, and I agree with that.
***** Norman doesn't look 10 years younger, its just his surfer hair that a young guy would have.
Norman has a youthfulness about him and he speaks like a kid but surprisingly he's 47 years old. It's the long shaggy hair that makes him look young and he has a nice body.
Ms.Bubba123 Who are you kidding? If you shaved Norman's head bald he would look his age. There is a lot of older people who act like kids.

I like Conan's effortless high five for the "little kid" impression. Smoo~th
Its really sweet and speaks to his acting skills & comfort in himself/his own sexuality to be okay with playing an LGBT character
Desus is the only thing that can fix me after losing Glenn
Me too
No longer
Do we tell them

He has got the most awesome hair I like how laid back he is too both on the show and in reality.
