It is an iconic moment that I did not want anybody else to take," he said.

Talking about keeping the secret of Glenn's death for so long, Steven Yeun remarked that it was not easy for him. "It came with its own set of difficulties," he added. He explained that initially, it caused a sense of excitement that he knows something that other do not know. After some time, it no longer has the same effect and he felt like diving into a hole as he was not allowed to reveal anything. "It was fun to lie to people for a minute. But after a while you just can't lie anymore so I just stopped talking to people," Yeun described.
