Norman Reedus, one of the stars of The Walking Dead, says that cast members miss the show as much as the fans.
Half of season 5 has aired but new episodes don’t start back up until February 8, 2015 due to the usual winter break.
“I do too. You know, to be honest, I do too,” Reedus told Access Hollywood recently when notified how fans miss the show so much.
The Walking Dead cast is well-known as being tight-knit, and the Daryl Dixon actor said one way they stay in touch while not filming is through a lot of text messages and phone calls.
“It’s kind of like, ‘Hey guys, I miss you!’” Reedus said, laughing. “It’s sort of pathetic. It’s, ‘What are you guys doing? How are you?’ … We really like each other so it’s constantly like, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?’”
Reedus also revealed a strange tradition that has started among some of the cast members, including Andrew Lincoln, when discussing how they text each other fun messages a lot.
“We all do actually. All of us do that. I was doing it [the other] night with Greg [Nicotero] and Steven [Yeun] and Andy [Lincoln] and Chandler [Riggs], because I found all these pictures that when we were in Comic-Con, in San Diego, we have this ritual where we get up super early, and we meet down on the beach in bathrobes and then we just run into the ocean and it’s freezing, but it’s like, it’s become a tradition now, so I found all these photographs, and we had a little text chain going on,” Reedus told Access.
“Yeah, we do it all the time.”
