Jeffrey Dean Morgan is setting the record straight. Well, sort of. The Walking Dead star recently found himself at the center of a bizarre viral rumor after a TikTok user claimed they could determine how often he masturbates just by looking at his hands. The video pointed to the size of his thumb knuckles and a callus on his palm as supposed “evidence” that Morgan takes matters into his own hands a whopping 20 times per week.
Days later, Morgan finally addressed the eyebrow-raising theory in the comments after wife Hilarie Burton Morgan sent him the clip. “Yup. Reposted in stories. My wife sent this to me … DYING,” he wrote on Wednesday, August 20. “I know this because I couldn’t even decipher wtf she was trying to type. She was laughing too hard.”
Clearly, Burton was just as entertained as the fans spreading the rumor. The couple, who tied the knot in 2019 after nearly a decade together, share two children, son Gus, 15, and daughter George, 7, and split their time between parenting, acting projects, and life on their upstate New York farm.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan Jokes He Can’t ‘Confirm Nor Deny’ Pleasuring Himself 20 Times a Week
Rather than shut down the speculation, Morgan leaned into the joke with his trademark dry humor. “I can’t confirm nor deny the 20 A WEEK?!?! That’s a heavy workload for anyone … much less an old fart who’s married to a smoking hot younger lady and either on set or being a dad/farmer,” the actor quipped. “TWENTY?! Cheers to ME! Bravo dude. We do appreciate a good laugh even if at my expense! Keep up the solid research!”
While the claim itself raised plenty of eyebrows, fans flooded the comments with laughter emojis and words of support for the actor’s playful clapback. “This man is a legend,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Jeffrey Dean Morgan has officially won the internet today.” Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s The Walking Dead costar Norman Reedus even got in on the laughter, commenting, “Do me do me.”
