The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.
Joining the intensely secretive 53-year-old actor was his longtime partner, Diane Kruger, 46, as well as his son Mingus Reedus, 22, whom he shares with his ex, model Helena Christensen, and his mother.
The ceremony, which was one of the few times Reedus has ventured out in public with his family, did the first Walking Dead cast member to receive a star at the iconic location.

Reedus’ star was introduced by director and horror film expert Guillermo del Toro and The Walking Dead executive producer Greg Nicotero.
