Tom Payne addresses whether his 'Walking Dead' character Jesus is gay.
The Walking Dead actor Tom Payne has recently confirmed his character Jesus is gay.
In the original Walking Dead comic books created by Robert Kirkman, Jesus is written as gay, but his sexuality has yet to be addressed in the hit AMC TV series.
Asked by The Huffington Post if this aspect of Jesus’s life could be shown on screen, Payne said: “I think that would be amazing.” Later adding: “Yeah, who cares? He’s a badass and he happens to be gay.”
“I think that’s one of the strongest things about Robert [Kirkman] and how he writes the comic books,” he continued. “Why wouldn’t he be? And I see no reason why that would be different in the show.”
