The Strolling Useless: Useless Metropolis‘s brash survivors Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) might need a tempestuous relationship at finest — however AMC’s actors Morgan and Cohan have been working collectively for near a decade now, and are good friends.
So, we thought it is likely to be attention-grabbing to have their Useless Metropolis castmates ask them some hard-hitting questions throughout our newest catch-up. Morgan and Cohan’s co-stars, Gaius Charles (who performs Perlie Armstrong), Dascha Polanco (Main Lucia Narvaez) and Kim Coates (Bruegel), didn’t maintain again.
What ensues is a dialog about karaoke — together with Morgan reminiscing about visiting a Japanese karaoke spot with the solid of 2009 movie Watchmen — their early days on The Strolling Useless collectively, and the way they hold their onscreen chemistry alive.
There’s additionally a significant reveal: Morgan created Negan’s iconic two-note whistle with inspiration from his childhood. “There was no [specific] whistle [in the script], and that’s how my dad used to whistle for me after I was just a little boy. On Sunday mornings, I’d hear that whistle and I knew I may come out of my bed room,” he laughed. “You’re allowed to return out now.”
However Cohan sums it up finest when speaking about her dynamic with Morgan after so a few years of enjoying throughout the zombie apocalypse world towards somebody who your character is meant to completely despise — however generally doesn’t: “We’re simply so fortunate [that] folks wish to see Negan and Maggie in the identical place, regardless that they don’t like one another. I feel there’s simply an indelible connection. After which it simply actually helps to love one another [in real life].”
Because the sequence prepares to air its ultimate three episodes of the sophomore season (Cohan directed the sixth episode, “Bridge Companions Are Arduous to Come by These Days,” which airs on Sunday, June 8), it’ll be attention-grabbing to see how the Maggie-Negan relationship continues to evolve. Both means, we’d be glad to maintain these two on our screens for a very long time.
