The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus has been making the rounds on social media again after being spotted in Wellington.

The American actor, known for playing the crossbow-wielding Daryl Dixon in the hit zombie series, is currently in New Zealand filming his motorcycle travel show, Ride.

But that hasn't stopped him posing for selfies with Kiwi fans along the way.
