Andrew Lincoln still hasnt watched a single episode of The Walking Dead – NME

Andrew Lincoln still hasnt seen any of The Walking Dead despite starring as the shows protagonist for nine seasons.

Thats according to chief content officer Scott Gimple, who said in a new interview that Lincoln has stuck to his decision to never watch an episode.

Lincoln, who portrayed former Georgia sheriff Rick Grimes in seasons one to nine, revealed in a 2017 interview with TV Insider that he has chosen to ignore the whole thing because hes allergic to my own face.

The actor said he doesnt enjoy watching himself on screen but instead thrives off the shooting period, adding that watching the show defeats the object of what I want to do as an actor, which is to try and be in the role and not be self-conscious.

Gimple confirmed to fans at a virtual Comic-Con panel for upcoming The Walking Dead: World Beyond spin-off series that nothing has changed: No, he has not watched it.

He added: I will say, one time I was doing a DVD commentary with him on an episode he wasnt in, The Grove. Five minutes into it, I was like, Youre not watching this, are you? Hes like, No, no Im not.'

Lincoln will make his return to The Walking Dead in a trilogy of spin-off films, as first announced in November 2018. Details on the movies are slim at present, however, plot leaks point attwisted human experiments and a plot to save Rick.

Gimple added in an interview with ComicBook.com that Lincoln is itching to get back to The Walking Dead universe with the film trilogy for Universal Pictures.

And I got to tell you, hes itching to get back, too. We all are, Gimple said, though there is no word when the films will start production.

He throws around the football with the rest of us. Hes very, very interested in this thing, Gimple said, adding hes super involved in the project.
