A Humble, sweet man


reading all the positive comment about people's encounters with Mr. Reedus, I always wondered how it could be possible for a star that is subject to such wild adoration to remain "real". Upon meeting him recently, I can say every good word is true. I still just don't understand how he does it. It's not an act....it is real and he's generous to a fault with children and everyone. I hope no one ever taps him on the shoulder and tells him he is a star Don't ever change, Norman. You are appreciated and loved and you know how to make us all feel that way about ourselves!!

I have never heard anyone talk *beep* about Norman. Everyone who meets him says the same thing, he's an awesome guy. He definetly heading into Tom hanks territory as one of the most kind and likeable guys in Hollywood. Stay cool Norman, stay cool.

He seems like the sort of person I'd really like. Did anyone see that The Talking Dead episode where he was talking about his new show, and Chris Hardwicke said something about how there was going to be an increase in the sell of dildos? Normal actually blushed. So, he has a touch of innocence, too.

(Though honestly I was somewhat shocked Hardwicke said that. Even for late night cable. And I've dealt with jerks for 25 years for a living an not much shocks me anymore.)



Don't try to cram me into a mold and everything will be alright.

that is exactly it....he is likable and sweet and has a wicked sense of humor....he never loses sight of his humanity. Nice guy, indeed!

Johnnythec: I have heard people on Facebook try to trash talk him, but it's those who've never met him, and for whatever reason think that everyone who has ever met him is lying about how kind he is. I shared a meme on him once about how sexy he was, and a friend of mine said he "looks like a scummer." I told her "Wow. Actually he's one of the nicest guys on the planet and he plays a good man on TWD. If you even bothered to look into him, you wouldn't call him that." Sad really when people try to make up b.s. stories about him. You should read some of the lies people say about him, and then they admit that they never met him, and it was all about what he looked like to them.

I read something about him on Facebook today that makes me 150% agree with you. 😌 Before a preteen passed away, he was able to see Norman.

I heard about that fatally ill teen, too. Norman skyped with him, gave hiM a number where he could reach him and managed to meet the young man. So many stories....99% incredibly positive. I have heard about many things Norman experienced in his life....AND PERHAPS IT IS THE FACT THAT HE LIVED AT THE BOTTOM AND AT THE TOP AND THAT ENABLES HIM TO BE AN "EVERYMAN'S" MAN. wHATEVER, i AM GLAD HE IS AROUND....BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE AND HEART!!

I have read the same things too. He sounds like a good soul, who is really grateful for his success and fame and gives a lot back to his fans. He does a lot of work for make a wish foundation too, and anyone who makes those amazing super brave kids happy is alright by me.

I have watched several con q and a sessions on youtube with Sean Patrick Flanery talking about Norman's success. They are very close friends and he talks about how proud he is at how Norman has handled everything. I also saw an interview Norman gave about Triple 9 and he is very humble and he talks about remembering what it's like to live on ramen noodles. Everyone has off days and I'm sure he has his, but I have yet to see any reports of him being anything but nice, patient and understanding.
