Andrew Lincoln Teases Rick's Beardless Appearance at 'The Walking Dead' Season Five Premiere

Andrew Lincoln buddies up to Norman Reedus while attending the season five premiere of The Walking Dead held at AMC Universal City Walk on Thursday night (October 2) in Universal City, Calif.

The guys were joined by their co-stars Steven Yeun, Emily Kinney, Lauren Cohan, Andrew J. West, Danai Gurira, Christian Serratos, and Melissa McBride.

Also in attendance were Ashley Tisdale and her husband Christopher French, as well as actress Amber Stevens.

“Either I’m not in the show anymore or there’s a flashback where I found a razor,” Andrew joked with THR about his clean-shaven face. “[Losing the beard] was more pleasant for my wife!”

He added, “It’s an extraordinary and interesting thing that goes down. I can’t really go into it because I don’t want to spoil it.”

After the premiere, the stars went to the after party hosted by Dos Equis and Jose Cuervo Cinge.

FYI: Danai is wearing a Christian Siriano dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Rauwolf clutch, H.Stern earrings, and a Vhernier ring. Andrew J. West is wearing head-to-toe Marc Jacobs. Lauren is wearing a Zimmermann dress and Brian Atwood shoes, EF Collection earrings, an EFFY Jewelry ring, a Melissa Kaye Jewelry ring, and a Graziela Gems ring. Emily is wearing Rebecca Minkoff shoes.
