Celebrities including Constance Wu, Rupert Grint and Andrew Lincoln have all chosen not to watch their own projects over the years — even if they were hits.
Lincoln, who starred on The Walking Dead from 2010 to 2018, refused to watch himself on the show.
“I kind of step back from it all. The fun bit for me is doing it. I love that. That’s the exciting thing for me,” he told Entertainment Weekly in August 2013.
Lincoln explained that his job is to “be as truthful as I can in this role,” which could be compromised if he watched the episodes back and became critical of his performance.
“I don’t think it’s that unusual if you ask a lot of actors,” he said.
