Jeffrey Dean Morgan is weighing in on a viral theory about how many times he masturbates in a week.
A social media user alleged in a recent video that he could estimate how much time Morgan, 59, spends pleasuring himself solely based on photos of the actor. Looking at the size of Morgan’s thumb knuckles and the presence of a callus on his palm, the video proposed an answer of 20 times per week.
Days after the clip was uploaded, Morgan responded in the comments section.
“Yup. Reposted in stories. My wife sent this to me … DYING,” the Walking Dead star wrote on Wednesday, August 20, referring to wife Hilarie Burton Morgan. “I know this because I couldn’t even decipher wtf she was trying to type. She was laughing too hard.”
Morgan further noted that the individual had conducted “some interesting research.”
“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,” he quipped. “TWENTY?! Cheers to ME! Bravo dude. We do appreciate a good laugh even if at my expense! Keep up the solid research!”

The Destination X host has been married to Burton Morgan, 43, since 2019, tying the knot a decade after they started dating. The couple live on a farm in upstate New York with son Gus, 15, and daughter George, 7.
“I would say [moving] was the biggest gamble because I am not near my old support network; there was no family or friends here. It was me and my son in a cabin,” Burton Morgan told the Rose and Ivy Journal in a 2020 interview. “Jeffrey was coming back and forth from work, and we were trying to figure out how we were going to create a life up here.”
She continued, “You put your energy into your priorities right and a lot of people make work their priority. What we are discovering in this current situation is that maybe what’s going on in your home could be a bigger priority. Let’s make healthy circles, work might be an outer circle and home is an inner circle. Now we have this amazing support network because we made connecting with the people in our town a priority. It’s paying off specifically right now because we are so interconnected and we can take care of each other in a lot of different ways.”
