Happy Birthday to Cailey Fleming as she becomes a teenager

Cailey Fleming, who plays Judith Grimes on The Walking Dead, has just celebrated her 13th birthday.

The Walking Dead always does a great job of casting, and they couldn’t have chosen a better actor for the part of Judith Grimes. Cailey Fleming is an amazing young actor who brings so much life to her character. She is spunky and fun and brings a breath of fresh air to the series. On March 25 she celebrated a milestone birthday: She became a teenager.

Birthday wishes poured in for Fleming, who has endeared herself to the fandom in a very short period of time.

Fleming joined The Walking Dead in 2018, portraying the daughter of Rick Grimes. Judith was born in season 3, and we have all watched her grow up during the series. In season 9, we are first introduced to a 9-year-old Judith when she saves Magna’s group from some walkers. She dons Rick and Carl’s hat and is armed with her father’s colt python and a katana that is a smaller version of her adopted mother’s weapon of choice. She introduces herself to the newcomers as Judith Grimes.

Fans went crazy at this introduction of an older Judith. This scene was at the very end of Andrew Lincoln’s last episode, and it was very satisfying to see that Judith would carry on the Grimes legacy her father and brother Carl envisioned, in true Grimes style.

Judith has cozied up to Uncle Daryl (Norman Reedus) and has taken excellent care of her little brother RJ (Antony Azor).  Fans were treated to a glimpse of Judith telling him the story of The Brave Man, which is actually the story of their father. Judith has learned to defend herself very well for such a young girl. Perhaps this is due to the training from Michonne, who has always been a force of nature when it comes to defense.

Many fans wished Fleming a happy birthday on social media with fan art and photos. Her fellow cast members also posted special messages to wish this lovely little lady a happy day.
