Negan just might be the most colorful character inThe Walking Deaduniverse.
It was awesome, says Morgan.
It makes him hard, for Gods sake, just holding her.

But it was great care taken with Lucille from the guys that built her.
Theres something about her, especially when theres blood dripping off her.
Theres a certain beauty that she has.
And for me its an extension of Negan.
They become one in these scenes together.
Its his d. I mean, for lack of a better thing, it really is.
Allow Morgan to explain.
Its how he walks differently with her, he holds her, and its a part of him.
He uses her to emphasize certain points, not just Im going to kill you.
Shes a character of her own.
But yeah, the first time I held her I knew this is it.
Of course, Lucille is not the only iconic Negan prop.
I mean, itsveryhot, laughs the actor.
When we shot the [season finale] in November, I was like, This is great!
I was so happy, not thinking oh, July in Atlanta.
Now Im just fing sweating.
I cant keep in enough fluids.
The one day we saw Morgan working on set in 97-degree heat, he was downing Gatorade between takes.
Im pounding Gatorade, but Ive still been fighting cramps, he says.
I get horrible cramps midway through a scene, my ribs will cramp up or my legs or something.
So its about trying to get that under control.
You dont go back to your trailer on this show.
We all stay on set all day.
As least he has Lucille to keep him company.
