Jeffrey Dean Morgan is opening up about his character Negan before tonight’s highly-anticipated season seven premiere of The Walking Dead.

“I’ve always been kind of a guy that people like on shows,” Jeffrey said in a behind-the-scenes interview, which you can watch below. “This is the first time I’ve done something where I know people are just going to despise me.”

He added, “You’ve never seen your cast on their heels like this, and as vulnerable and victimized. That all kind of stems from Negan.”

“It’s tricky bringing him to life,” Jeffrey added. “That being said, I’ve never had more fun. I couldn’t be happier.”

The Walking Dead airs TONIGHT, October 23 @ 9PM on AMC.
