00:00Would you go on Drag Race?
00:02I would, yeah. Don't tell anyone, but I would.
00:05Known motorcycle enthusiast Norman Reedus is living the dream in his upcoming film The Bike
00:10Riders. But appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race is one dream he still has yet to accomplish.
00:15The actor who plays Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead universe portrays California biker Funny
00:20Sonny in The Bike Riders. He spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the movie,
00:23as well as his AMC series Ride with Norman Reedus, revealing why his dream guests for
00:28the show are Cher and RuPaul. But you're the man in charge. I'm Sonny. I was hoping maybe to
00:38get a little food, a little drink. The Bike Riders is inspired by the Danny
00:41Lyon photo book of the same name that documented the lives of a motorcycle club outside Chicago
00:46in the 1960s. Reedus was a fan of the book before shooting the movie, even having a few prints at
00:51home and a book signed by Lyon. Being a fan of the book, were you already super familiar with
00:56this time period and what bike culture was like in the 60s? Yeah, you know, a lot of the photos
01:02that I collect as inspiration for Daryl for the last 13 years have been some of Danny's photos.
01:09As far as the culture goes, I'm pretty well versed in the culture. The actor's knowledge
01:14of motorcycle culture comes as no surprise for those who've watched his docu-travel series
01:18Ride with Norman Reedus, which sees the star ride around different cities with special guests.
01:23Who's one person you'd love to go on a ride with that you haven't gotten the chance to ride with
01:27yet? Cher. I tweeted RuPaul because I'm obsessed with Drag Race. So I was trying to get RuPaul on
01:33and he wrote me back and said it's always been a dream of his, but keep him in mind for he doesn't
01:39know how to ride a bike. But I was going to try to figure it out. But I think Cher. I think Cher
01:44still rides too. Would you go on Drag Race? I would. Yeah. Don't tell anyone, but I would.
01:49And I think they know that I would. I just don't have any sense of fashion.
01:53So I don't know that I would be a good judge. But I literally watch that show and break into tears.
02:00Something about you build this thing and there's this reasons why and they do it. I'm just like,
02:07I love it. I love it. It's one of my favorite shows. For more on the bike riders, head to
