Steven Yeun is back, doing a sexy photoshoot for GQ magazine. He also gives yet another amazing interview, which is worth the read.
- Steven is big into primal astrology, which is designed to help people “discover far, far more about your path in life than was previously possible” by combining their Eastern and Western zodiac signs along with “past lives” and “karmic balancing.”
- Regarding the Golden Globes putting American film in the foreign language category: "I wasn't surprised. I have no desire to try to massage both sides in this situation, but it really just comes down to the idea that rules and institutions can never capture real life. And it can never really understand that what builds a place like America and what makes it great is all the people that are contributing to it. If this is the thing that helps to expand these institutions and rules? Cool."
- The Walking Dead blew up so much that he had to stop leading worship at his church because parishioners kept asking for selfies.
- Glenn's path on TWD was...kind of racist: "There's ‘good’ and ‘bad.’ But I felt I had expanded beyond that and I was internally frustrated. I felt like I was servicing a concept of goodness, as opposed to engaging with Glenn's humanity...[Spoiler (click to open)][I wanted Glenn to be] more conflicted, to have the same opportunities for interiority as the other characters. Glenn has evil thoughts, I'm sure. I remember season three, when Glenn thinks that the governor assaulted Maggie, and I remember I campaigned hard. I was like, ‘Yo! Give me a story line where I go to kill this guy.’ (That didn't happen, and it was the first moment that Yeun knew his time on the series was coming to an end) To be quite honest, as an Asian person, sometimes accessing your own humanity when you're outside in the world is not that easy. Because you're usually kind of just shrunken down into your label. To not have that in my real life and to not have that in my show life was frustrating. And so I think it just started this journey of just, like...dude, I can't. I've got to feel full. I've got to feel real.”
- Steven now goes for roles where he can examine his darker side instead of playing a label.
- He loves singing (and sings very well). His favorite worship song is “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).” He's also rediscovered his faith in God in recent years.

Steven Yeun says he used to say his favorite genre of music was “classical” in order to appear smart: “Secretly, I'm mad dumb! I don't know anything about classical music. I would just say shit.”
