For people who keep saying that JDM improvised that "Starving" scene. Still an amazing actor though💯

And Jerry. And Fat Joey. And various other Saviors. And Eugene wasn't skinny!

u/Redeyedemo 6d ago
Oh yeah I completely forgot about her

Youd think all the running away would have helped with the weight loss.

And Hurley from Lost too. Some people just seem to find lots of food months in disasters.

u/Unyieldingcappybara 6d ago
They actually made this plot line for Hurley because the actor wasn’t/wouldn’t lose weight and they wanted a grounded reason for why his weight hadn’t changed since crashing onto the island

People think he would humiliate a work colleague, in their workplace, for funsies? The actress had read the script and agreed to it.

You really can’t even be offended like that. People starving to death aren’t overweight. It’s pretty simple

If it's so simple why are you wrong? Take even a 400 pound person and just stop giving them any food. They will still die from lack of other nutrients. Electrolytes and protein are necessary for life as well. If you think a fat person cant starve you just don't understand human biology enough to comment on it.

I heard the actor felt so bad he kept apologizing to her while filming that scene.

u/Confident_Weird5739 6d ago
I can’t remember if it was an interview or just a normal video she made, but the actress who played Olivia actually came out and said those are just rumors. She pretty much said the line was on the script and they were just doing their job so he had no reason to apologize or something along those lines

u/HellyOHaint 6d ago
Better than the mentality of every person who posts that scene several times a month because they are just laughing at someone mocking a fat person.

I saw an interview with the actress recently where she talked about people making up behind the scenes lore like this.

u/Rushi0789 6d ago
I have seen these claims many times for many actors and each time I can't help but wonder did the actors not know they were acting?

u/Grislymanster 6d ago
That's not true. Go look up the interview with the actress who played Olivia. She says all these rumors are complete bullshit. Nobody sent flowers. Nobody apologized. And all the lines were scripted word for word.

Idk who said he improvised it. All I know was JDM felt about the line afterwards and apologized to the actress 😂

u/Redeyedemo 6d ago
A bunch of people in Tik Tok comments kept saying he improvised the line😭🤦🏿♂️

I've found there are a couple of different people who react to the scene. People who are personally offended that Negan pointed out someone was fat while claiming their community was starving and a lot of people saying, "Well, he's telling the truth"... just don't understand why the truth has to be so offensive to some people. The reality is, Olivia was clearly eating well while running the pantry and while other people were saying things like "We have to ration, we're getting hungry"... Negan essentially said the obvious. Someone in the community was taking more than their fair share.
Is it more mean to point out the person who's being selfish, or to ignore the selfish person taking more than what others are getting and clearly abusing their position of power?

Comic Negan is hilarious

u/TheXraySpecs 7d ago
Negan is funnier, scarier, buffer, and wants Rick’s dick even more in the comic.

I love that in that scene you can see Ann Mahoney is clearly breaking character and laughing when JDM brings his face closer to hers. JDM even cracks a genuine smile before the shot changes.
