In a series of high art photographs, Norman - who once modelled for the likes of Prada - proved his posing chops as he stood in a dusty landscape while clad in a crisp grey suit.

The actor then dove full clothed into the ocean for another photo, where his white suit hugged his toned physique.

Norman also crawled on sand while clad in a velour sweater and slacks in yet another edgy photograph.

When Norman wasn't posing up a storm, the actor discussed his time on The Walking Dead. 

The actor portrays Daryl Dixon on the hit AMC thriller, which is now in its fifth season. 

In his interview with Flaunt, the actor recalled how working on The Walking Dead's Georgia set has sharpened his acting ability.

'I have to say that as far as my working life, I became really at ease and comfortable and proud of my work when I got to Georgia. It all kind of fell into place there. Acting in New York and acting in L.A. is such a grind and it’s such a hustle.'

He added: 'Southern Georgia is a character on our show. You couldn't make that show in Burbank or anywhere else. I guess it’s like any other job. If you like your job, it's not a drag to go to work.'

The actor is such a fan of the Southern location he's even pondered completely relocating to the state.

When asked by the publication if he's thought about uprooting, he responded: 'When I’m riding my bike through the country and leaves are falling and the sun's going down and I have a T-shirt on, yes.'

Working on The Walking Dead has taken a physical toll on the actor, who has suffered a myriad of injuries while working on the show. 

He referenced his scrapes to the magazine: 'They beat the sh*t out of me on a daily basis.'

The actor once revealed that he was sent to the emergency room after suffering a head injury.

Next, the actor will be seen on the big screen with a role in the crime drama Triple Nine.

The film, which also stars Teresa Palmer and Aaron Paul, will hit screens in September 2015.
