The Walking Dead’s Tyler James Williams was bitten by a TWD fan.
We all know how the zombie apocalypse starts. A single incident of someone getting bit slowly becomes a global epidemic and the next thing you know the world is filled with walkers. But, that hasn’t stopped Walking Dead fans from trying to take a bite out of the show’s cast members.
Back in December, Norman Reedus (who plays Daryl Dixon on the show) got bitten by a fan during a zombie convention. Norman responded by asking his fans not to bite him on Instagram.
Now Tyler James Williams, who played Noah on the show, has also been bitten.
“I got bit one time,” Williams told TV Guide. “I think it was like ‘Haha! A joke!’ But it wasn’t funny. The last show I did, I was kind of ripped apart. So I think they thought it would be fun to reenact it, maybe. I just did not see it coming. They went in for a hug and bit me on the shoulder. It’s was like ‘Haaaa!’”
“That’s a thing that most people learn is you don’t bite. Like people say ‘Oh, I don’t bite.’ But they do. So y’know, just keep your teeth to yourself. That would be wonderful.”
That’s pretty crazy. But, I’m not that surprised. The Walking Dead has evolved into a cult like following with thousands of people posting on captions, memes, and fan-fiction on Twitter, Instagram and even Snapchat.
