When Norman Reedus and Andrew Lincoln aren’t busy fighting zombies as their Walking Dead characters Daryl Dixon and Rick Grimes, the two are embroiled in a different kind of battle: a prank war.

Reedus said the war began when he secretly attached an ’80s-style airbrushed Daryl Dixon license plate to Lincoln’s car.

Corden remarked that it didn’t seem like Reedus was playing fair. “Hang on, you were trying to get him back for something he hadn’t done yet?,” the host said. “This feels like a very one-sided war.”
