Never Forget That Time Norman Reedus Played Lady Gaga's Lover in a Music Video

Updated on 2/9/2017 at 1:00 PM

The year is 2011. Lady Gaga is mere weeks away from dropping her third studio album, Born This Way. To get her fans good and prepped for the highly anticipated release, she releases a music video for "Judas," the second single off the album. Meanwhile in 2017, Gaga's spectacular Super Bowl halftime show performance, announcement of her Joanne World Tour, and release of the "John Wayne" music video have sent fans into a tizzy. As I, a longtime fan, tried to process everything, I was sent spiraling back into some of Gaga's most iconic videos, where I made a shocking discovery. Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl on AMC's The Walking Dead, was in the "Judas" music video all those years ago. TWD, a new show at the time, had just finished its first season, and Reedus hopped on a different motorcycle for an entirely different role: as Judas himself.

For starters, here's the full video. Iconic. Legendary. Biblical.

JUST like Daryl.

Here, He's Clearly Ballin' With 2 Fine Women

Get it, Daryl.

Just a Casual Hang With Some Fellow Dudes, Nothing to See Here

The One and Only Judas Jacket, Because Obviously

Here's Gaga Threatening Him With Her Gun Because She Knows He's a Traitor

Here's Where He Keeps a Straight Face While Gaga Rubs Lipstick All Over It

It's probably harder than it looks.

Here He Is Taking a Nice Bath

What, you don't bathe in your leather jacket? Um, wow, OK.

Here He Is Planning to Murder His Friend While Lady Gaga's Like "I'm Watching You TBH"

Here He Is Committing the Ultimate Betrayal and Bestowing the Kiss of Death

And Then He Murders Lady Gaga by Pouring Beer on Her Butt

The End.
