Norman Reedus Clarifies His Licking People Comments: That Got Blown Out of Proportion

Norman Reedus is dapper as he suits up to attend EFA’s 7th Annual Blossom Ball held at Cipriani Downtown on Monday (April 13) in New York City.

The 46-year-old The Walking Dead star was joined by Padma Lakshmi, Christian Slater, Andy Cohen, and Paul Haggis at the event benefiting The Endometriosis Foundation of America.

At the event, Norman clarified his licking comments made on Conan last month.

“The licking thing, that got way blown out of proportion, I’ll be honest,” Norman told People. “I do lick people from time to time, and they asked me to stop licking people, but I don’t lick strangers – I lick people I know. It’s like an Urban Dictionary thing now. That’s insane.”

FYI: Padma is wearing a Kaufmanfranco dress.
