Negan Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan Says The Walking Dead Fans Still Swear at Him in the Street for Killing Glenn 10 Years Ago

Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, known for his role as the villain Negan in The Walking Dead, says he still encounters angry fans who confront him in the street about Negan's actions, including killing Glenn Rhee ten years ago. Negan, a central figure in the series, became an anti-hero in the spinoff The Walking Dead: Dead City. Morgan explained on the Happy Sad Confused podcast how fans often get furious with him for Glenn's death, despite it being a well-known outcome from the comic books.

He recounted a particularly aggressive encounter with an elderly lady in a Georgia coffee shop who hit him with her purse and swore at him. Despite the hate, Morgan finds it "hilarious" and admits that he's used to it, often being yelled at or flipped off on the street. He used to defend Negan's character but now considers it a part of the show's world where everyone has committed atrocities.
