Jon Bernthal speech at Norman Reedus Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ceremony

[@moonknight6088]

Rumor has it Norman wasn't even in the cast, he just walked on set outta the woods and started killing the zombies. True story.

[@jamesseth4710]

Lmao😂

[@silje3910]

Lol good one... lol

[@mrultimative726]

Makes sense, he wasn’t even ein the comics xD

[@Danie1_l]

True story actually, he accidentally walked on the set and the camera crew and cast just went with it

[@drakingson]

Norman was cast don't believe trolls.

[@mitchking3348]

That’s gotta be the best speech I’ve ever heard. Find yourself a friend like John. Better yet, be a person like Norman. This was so cool to watch and listen to. Respect.

[@lucabrasi8702]

That’s the best speech you’ve ever heard in your life? That’s tragic as hell. Spend some time looking up historical speeches.

Look up Charlie Chaplins speech in The Great Dictator

[@MrDabman123]

Holy crap. I always knew that both of these men are examples of authentic, blazing talent. What I didn't know was that Jon Bernthal is a such a gifted writer and orator. That speech might as well have been called "Ode to a Reedus," and it could have been written by Pablo Neruda. Jon, if you're reading this, please know that I've got nothing but respect for you, bro. The depth of your honesty and generosity continues to leave me floored. Thank you for highlighting Norman's talents as only *you* could.

[@PleaseDontDeleteMyComments]

It was an aural asslicking. Which is fine, if that's your thing.

Met him once at Paleyfest, he is exactly what everyone says about him. You can tell he is super appreciative but confident in who he is. He does not act like he is better than you, even though he is.

[@jasonscott8265]

I live in Savannah. I happened upon Norman one night at one one of our original dive bars Pinkie Masters. He was standing outside and I approached him and told him how I was a fan of TWD but had followed his career and had been a fan of his for many yrs. He was receptive and kind and treated me like a friend He’s one in a million. I’ve met many celebrities but he’s one of only a few that was gracious and appreciative.

[@paulcrimson3824]

Norman deserved this so much. Its a big fact that he playing one of the best TV show character ever. His acting is amazing good! And its so good to hear what people think about him who worked with him and other people too and how much they love him. Just like us fans love him veeery much! I mean comeon he is such a cool guy in the show and in the real life too. Its a big day and a big happy moment for him and his family and friends and fans too. Jon too would deserve this i think he too is a rly good actor and nice and kind guy and badass. He played very good Shane too in TWD but i love him more as the Punisher! He is such a cool and great Punisher and his other roles are good too.

[@bobbyfederico1263]

I think Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Lauren Cohan, Melissa Mcbride, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Jeffery Dean Morgan all deserve a star on this walk of fame

[@auntisthenes2754]

Strange that Norman gets his hands on Hollywood bD. as an actor, we don't know him. He gets that by being himself more than anything. I'd love to see Tom Cruise's prints trashed on a regular basis for who he is...

[@CorrinaGolding-tg7oo]

Wow. Imagine hearing someone giving that speech about you..!! And realising that you’re the type of human being that inspires people to describe you as such, you make people feel this way and touch their hearts as such. Damm you’d be proud of yourself and know you’ve been a success in the world. Norman Reedus has always seemed to me to be a good man and this speech just confirms everything I’ve thought he’d be. The only ‘celebrity’ I want to meet. I’d love to sit and have a few beers at a bar with him, just chatting about life you know? Top guy 100%

[@boogiedownbronx73]

What an amazing speech..even fot me teary towards the end. So well spoken and written..

@@Unholy_Judas Possibly. From people like you. Just as Halle Berry took her worst actress of the year award, I'd be proud. Actors, just like everyone work for money too.. Why don't you watch the next Tom Cruise. Don't you worry your little head with artsy fartsy considerations. I'm geeky about acting, even worked with one of the most famous STAGE directors. Peter Brook. British guy who created a troupe from different cultures and went exploring how much languages were part of language, testing the tales we tell in Africa. None of them spoke a word of the language they visited... And he kept various cultures ever since to work on his projects. Is that folly ? You poor thing, it's the essence of Art. Have you ever watched Negro art on stage ? It's riveting. I don't mean afro-american but African, Haitian, Caribbean..The latest call to "the court" : Does the court sleep, and people respond, "No, the court does not sleep". and the tale goes on.
