The man of many talents, Tyler Perry visited The Ellen Show and chatted about his involvement in The Walking Dead, Boo! A Madea Halloween and much more.

DeGeneres told Perry she heard he rode 47 miles to celebrate his 47th birthday. Perry insisted that it was a beautiful thought at the time to say thanks to God. However, at mile four he started having doubts about it.

Meanwhile, Perry also revealed that he bought an old Army base in the middle of Atlanta.

It's 330 acres and he plans on building an entire studio. Perry said that The Walking Dead is actually a client and they shoot at the studio.

Perry said he was skeptical about letting them shoot there at first as he doesn't really do the whole supernatural thing. However, he said he watched the show and he was hooked. Though, the zombies walking around at 2 AM is still something he seems to be getting used to.

Meanwhile, Boo! A Madea Halloween, is a film Perry said he owes to Chris Rock. Perry said it's the funniest thing he has done. You can check out Perry's interview with Ellen DeGeneres in the video below.
