Fan Speaks Out About Biting Norman Reedus
“Finally got to meet the love of my life, and get banned from the rest of the CON and lose two more $100 photo ops with him because I lost my mind. I got so excited standing beside him… & just turned my head and bit him! I don’t know what came over me. It wasn’t my intention to hurt him. I’m sorry Norman.”
Norman Reedus, being the awesome person that he is, had the perfect response to the bite incident. He posted a photo of himself on Instagram wearing a cut off t-shirt that read “Do Not Bite Me,” and then captioned the photo, “Um, please don’t.”
