Jeffrey Dean Morgan responds to viral NSFW theory
Jeffrey Dean Morgan recently reacted to a viral NSFW theory circulating on social media. A TikTok clip claimed that the actor’s hand size, thumb knuckles, and a visible callus suggested he masturbates 20 times a week. The 59-year-old Walking Dead star became aware of the video after his wife, Hilarie Burton Morgan, shared it with him. He then responded directly in the comments and reposted the video to his Instagram Stories.
The original video came from comedian Jon Shefsky’s online series The Jacket Report, which humorously speculates about celebrity habits. The content drew attention for suggesting an exact number of times Morgan engages in a private activity. Morgan addressed the claim on August 20, joking that while the “research” was creative, he could “neither confirm nor deny” the number cited. He emphasized the humor in the situation, saying his wife was laughing too hard to type when she showed him the clip.
In his comment, Morgan wrote: “Yup. Reposted in stories. My wife sent this to me … DYING. I know this because I couldn’t even decipher wtf she was trying to type. She was laughing too hard.” He followed with: “I can’t confirm nor deny the 20 A WEEK?!?! That’s a heavy workload for anyone … much less an old fart who’s married to a smoking hot younger lady and either on set or being a dad/farmer. TWENTY?! Cheers to ME!”
Morgan and Burton have been married since 2019, after nearly a decade together. They reside on a farm in upstate New York with their children, Gus, 15, and George, 7. Alongside family life, Morgan remains active with acting projects, including The Walking Dead: Dead City, and other commitments that limit his personal time.
Despite the speculation, he used the moment to highlight humor and his family dynamic.
