The Walking Deads Norman Reedus reveals terrifying road trip encounter with on-screen broth
THE Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus has recalled a ‘terrifying’ road trip encounter with on-screen brother Michael Rooker.
The Daryl Dixon actor and motorcycle fan has his own travel series on AMC - Ride with Norman Reedus - where he hits the road and explores local biker culture and its history.
Each episode features a different city and riding companion, and in an upcoming episode he's joined by Michael, who plays Merle Dixon in The Walking Dead.
While Norman is used to battling zombies and dealing with bloodshed in the hit AMC show, he admitted during an appearance on The Late, Late Show with James Corden his road trip with Michael was terrifying.
He explained: "We just did an episode...we just got back form New Zealand but there was an episode that's about to come out with Michael Rooker and I.
"We went roller skating, and it was terrifying. I sucked so bad.
"It was just pathetic; it was one of those things I was in like five minutes and I was like 'cut the camera, I'm done.'"
The episode proved to be emotional for the pair as well though, taking place seven years after Michael's final Walking Dead scenes.
After visiting a number of different locations together, Norman had a surprise for Michael, asking: "You ready to meet some old friends?"
He then took him into a pub where their Walking Dead family were waiting.

Executive producer Greg Nicotero greeted the pair before delivering a heartfelt speech to everyone.
He said: "Whether your character is still alive or your character is gone, we’re all a family."
Norman then told Michael: "I want to thank Michael for doing this episode, my brother.
"We started this s**t together and how perfect that we ride from your hometown back to Georgia together."
