What does Jeffrey Dean Morgan like best about playing Negan on The Walking Dead? He answered that question at San Diego Comic Con for a young fan.

Although The Walking Dead isn’t a show for kids, it is inevitable that many children around the world tune in to watch the hit AMC zombie survival drama on a weekly basis despite the warnings aired prior to each episode.

That said, there are a surprising number of young people who absolutely love the leader of The Saviors, Negan. His style, wordplay, and genuine swagger are enough to draw in just about any fan to be glued to the TV when he is on.

Recently, the actor who plays Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) appeared at San Diego Comic Con and answered a question from a young fan. Here is that video as shared on the official YouTube channel of AMC:

With the help of his father, a boy asked Morgan about playing Negan, and wondered what his favorite part of playing the villain is.

Without missing a beat, the actor replied by saying that he finds the character to be ‘very amusing’ because of his sense of humor and having that kind of approach to life will help people through the dark days.

Morgan continued by answering what he likes least about playing Negan. He said the fact that he ‘wears a leather jacket on 120 degree days’ when filming is enough to make just about anyone miserable.

Robert Kirkman chimed in to say that they were considering a t-shirt for Negan, but thought the leather jacket looked cooler for the villain. Morgan agreed that the style is indeed cooler.
