‘Walking Dead’ star Jeffrey Dean Morgan reveals how he’d ‘pluck’ off zombies during an apocalypse

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is pretty sure he’d survive a zombie apocalypse.

When asked whether he believes he would outlast those pesky, flesh-eating mutants, the actor told Pvnew exclusively, “I do, I do.”

“Well, [for] one, I’d just go home and live on my farm and then sit up on top of a hill with a rifle and pluck ’em off, you know?” he told us last Tuesday at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival premiere of “The Walking Dead: Dead City.”

“I’m a good shot,” he added.

Morgan’s character, Neegan, along with Maggie (Lauren Cohan), has been spun off on a new show, which finds them traveling to a post-apocalyptic Manhattan that has long ago been cut off from the mainland.

Morgan noted that he’s a “good shot” and would be able to take down the zombies with his rifle. AMC

The duo find the Big Apple to be teeming with the living dead and, of course, some nasty live characters.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” alum, 57, also felt like NYC has been going through some scary times following the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I think things got a little rough there for a minute,” he shared, “I think we’re on our way to being good, but during the pandemic, we all had some scary moments in the city.

“Nothing is as bad as a zombie apocalypse and what would happen to New York then,” he noted. “Let’s knock on wood that this great city will be all right. I feel like we will be.”

As for his baseball bat-toting character, who was introduced at the end of Season 6 of “The Walking Dead,” Morgan knows he is “a little bit polarizing.”

“He came on polarizing because he killed a couple of the show’s favorite characters, so people either loved him or they really hated him.

“And I don’t know that that has shifted a lot. I think people still really hate him or they really love him, which is cool because no one feels indifferent about him.”

Meanwhile, Morgan’s co-star, Cohan, sounded nonplussed when asked whether she had the chops to survive an army of zombies.

“Oh, yeah,” she replied. “Sorry, I don’t mean to sound so sure, but yes!

“You have to think ahead, finding a team, have each other’s backs,” the 41-year-old explained before adding, “What does survive mean? Is dying maybe surviving in this world?”

“The Walking Dead: Dead City” premieres June 18 at 10 p.m. ET on AMC.
