Norman Reedus, motorcyclist The motorcyclists
Seven years later Loving (2017), Jeff Nichols returns to theaters with his new film The motorcyclists, released in France on June 19. A beautiful and melancholic film that honors bikers in America in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The opportunity for the director to evoke the evolution of the country and to navigate between its myth and reality motorcyclists (see our review). If the feature film is worth watching for what it says, it is also worth watching for the casting. We find in particular Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and even Michael Shannon. But the most attentive perhaps will also recognize it Norman Reedus in a secondary, but still significant role.
The actor, well known for his role as Daryl in Walking Dead, here he plays a biker who comes from California to join the Chicago Vandals. An unelegant man, with rotten teeth, who hides his face behind large sunglasses, a beard and long hair. It’s also funny to see the other members of the club initially fearful, even disgusted, when faced with this curious character.
This outfit that makes Norman Reedus unrecognizable is the result of the actor’s collaboration with Jeff Nichols. The actor wanted put aside the image of Daryl From Walking Dead who has been playing for 14 years now. A role that particularly left an impression on him. He wanted to look totally different The motorcyclistswhich allowed the director to create “a collector of all the craziest ideas“, as he explained FilmNews.
Daryl Dixon will be back soon
Norman Reedus also revealed it Soon than seeing the casting of The motorcyclistshe thought most of the actors were really good looking and so he wanted to go an opposite direction. It was then on his initiative that he asked a member of the technical team of The Walking Dead to do it give him dentures.
I asked Greg Nicotero from The Walking Dead’s special effects team in France to learn his skills. I went back and forth from Paris to Ohio trying to get used to my teeth. And that’s how it started.
Despite this desire to break his image, fans of The Walking Dead can rest assured, Norman Reedus is not done with Daryl. The actor continues to play the character with a spin-off series dedicated to him: The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The first season was broadcast in France on Paramount+ starting from November 2023. A show that has the particularity of taking place on French territory and in particular in Paris. Given the success of the first season, the series was renewed a season 2 which is expected to debut on AMC in the United States on September 29. In France, Paramount+ subscribers will be able to discover upcoming episodes the following day.
Until then, we recommend heading to the theaters to find out The motorcyclists with Norman Reedus obviously very comfortable on the bike, as he had the opportunity to demonstrate Walking Dead in the past.
