Carrie Underwood’s ‘Walking Dead’ Dream Role, Awkward Meeting With Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Country music superstar and Walking Dead superfan Carrie Underwood stopped by Today on Wednesday, where she made a startling admission: If she were offered the chance to appear on The Walking Dead, she would want to be a zombie. Chilling, isn’t it? Unless she were somehow a singing and dancing zombie. That could be great for the morale of everyone in Alexandria. What’s not great for anyone in Alexandria is Neegan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, whom Underwood was recently fortunate enough to meet.

Underwood met Morgan at the Golden Globes, but the meeting didn’t quite go as she might have hoped.

“He was so nice,” Underwood said. “We’re all dressed up at the Golden Globes. Everybody is doing their thing. He was like, ‘You look beautiful.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you so much. You look like Neegan.’ That’s all that could come out of my mouth.”

Immediately after calling him Neegan, Underwood had to take off, so that was the extent of her meeting with Morgan.

“It was so busy, and we had to do a script read-through, so I kind of ran away. So I called him Neegan, then ran away. It was kind of awkward,” Underwood said.
