The Walking Dead star Andrew Lincoln, 50, has an exposing scene in an upcoming TV show that his kids aren’t too happy about. His children, Arthur, 15, and Matilda, 17, whom he shares with wife Gael Anderson, have not spoken to him after he warned them in advance about the scene. “I said to Arthur: ‘How would you feel about me pleasuring myself on national television?’ And he said: ‘What do you think?’” he shared in an interview with The Times. In the ITV thriller Coldwater, which has a Sept. 14 release date, his character is caught masturbating in the shower by his wife, played by Indira Varma. “My children haven’t talked to me since I did the job,” said Lincoln, who played Rick Grimes on the zombie apocalypse show. “My son just said: ‘Can you just not have waited for three years until I was through school?’” But his children aren’t the only ones who won’t be tuning into the raunchy scene; Lincoln said he avoids watching himself on screen, with those duties delegated to his wife. “Look, I’m just thrilled that people are still asking me to get naked at 50,” Lincoln said. Lincoln plays a middle-aged man in London, who’s a stay-at-home father who is “secretly raging at his life.” According to the show’s synopsis, “his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground brings his identity crisis to a head,” thus causing him to move his family to a rural Scottish town eponymously named “Coldwater.” This show marks Lincoln’s return to U.K. TV after a 15-year hiatus.
