Lauren Cohan, the actress who potrays Maggie Green on AMC’s The Walking Dead, is featured in a new photo shoot in GQ.

Cohan spoke to GQ about what it’s like playing Maggie in The Walking Dead, saying "I'd always fantasized about playing a southern role.”

She also noted that she’s only recently realized just how much she curses.

"I never realized how much I actually curse until I read a couple of interviews, and I was like: You need to find a different word,” Cohan says.

Cohan will return as Maggie Greene in Season 5 of The Walking Dead, premiering on AMC October 12.
