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.
