Norman Reedus may not be playing gay on The Walking Dead, but he was happy to give us some beefcake on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly. Reedus, who plays badass Daryl Dixon, sports a sleeveless tee with the handwritten slogan, "Bite Me" scrawled on it.

Oh, if you insist, Norman.

We love the lean, muscular look and a little dirt never hurt anyone. But we just can't with the hair anymore. We get that it's the post-Apocalypic world, and maybe there's not a Hair Cuttery or tubs of American Crew nearby, but it looks like Daryl styles his 'do with chicken fat. Even a crewcut would be better.

Of course, that rat's nest wouldn't keep us from bedding down with him and riding out the Zombie armageddon.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC on February 8.
