The Walking Dead stars actually campaigned for that final nude scene.
The return of The Walking Dead shocked viewers with kids getting killed off and very violent scenes. This week, The Walking Dead switched it up and it got sexy really quickly. We’re talking of course, about Rick and Michonne finally hooking up.
The scene was apparently a little more entertaining behind the scenes.
As the actor explains, Angela Kang and Corey Reed’s original script called for an au naturel Michonne to “cover herself” with a sheet upon jumping out of bed. “Danai said, ‘No, she wouldn’t. She’d go for her sword.’ And I said, ‘Yeah. And Rick would go for his gun. And we’d both be naked.’
“So we campaigned for the butt-crack shot [at the end],” Lincoln adds, proudly. “That wasn’t in the script. We both said, ‘If we’re going to do it, let’s do it.’”
You have to appreciate the actors pushing the limits and keeping the story true to their characters.
And while fans of The Walking Dead tend to bash the show when it deviates from the original comic book series, many fans have cheered for the latest episode with #Richonne going viral.
