Talking to Jimmy Kimmel about a memorable moment meeting Cher, Norman Reedus said, “There’s so many episodes of Ride where they say, ‘Who’s your dream guest?’ And I say, ‘Cher.’ I’ve said it like, 85 times,” Reedus explained, alluding to his motorcycle travel series. “And then she showed up last night and I’m sitting there, I have my arm around Austin [Butler] and Jodie [Comer], and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, that’s Cher.’ I was like, ‘Look, look, that’s Cher.’”
He then continued, “Jodie goes, ‘Oh, you love her,’ because I was talking about her [when] we did one of the press things. And I go, ‘Should I go over there?’ And she goes, ‘No, no!’ And I went, ‘No!’ And I ran over there.” Reedus then mimics how he started speaking gibberish after seeing Cher. He adds, “I attacked her like Halloween candy. I was like, boom!” He said. “I think I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m a big fan.’”
The actor also added that Cher was with her boyfriend, Alexander Edwards, saying, “She was with her boyfriend who was very nice, but then I heard he got in a fight with somebody recently and so I immediately was like, ‘Nice to meet you sir.’ She was so sweet. She was like, ‘Oh, we’re big fans.’ I was like, oh, yeah, right, whatever. I was geeking out a little bit.”
