Bryan Cranston Answers Your Questions | Actually Me

- Publicado em 23 Set 2023
- Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston (Walter White) joins British GQ in Actually Me, as he goes online to answer the internet’s questions. The American actor responds to questions from Twitter, Reddit & Quora as well as replying to BRclip & Instagram comments and fact-checking Wikipedia.
The Breaking Bad star reveals how he adopted Walter White’s persona, and how that varied when playing scenes as Heisenberg: ‘What I did is, I patterned Walter White after my father, who was 30 years older than me… more rounded shoulders for an older man, a deeper, deeper voice. And then when he transitions into becoming Heisenberg, his shoulders go back, his voice goes stronger and becomes more formidable to his enemies.’ Watch the full episode as Bryan Cranston goes undercover with British GQ in Actually Me.

Bryan Cranston should've played Commissioner Gordon a long time ago
He did it. Batman animated movie
@Jason.1284+ super cool movie
Bryan Cranston as Hugo Strange would be crazy.
Mr Freeze
He has such genuine dad humor and I love it
True ❤😊
That’s Hal for you
His timing is impeccable. He's a genuine comedian forged with dad humour
he did a your mom joke on a fan, and not just any innocuous one; literally insinuating that he bangs the fan's mom when he goes to Albuquerque
@Flying Spaghetti MonsterDad's gonna do what dad's gonna do.
Bryan Cranston is one of my favourite celebraties. He's chill, down to earth, kind and hilarious without be too loud, fantastic man👍
True ❤😊
celebraties
Yes, 99.1% true
@chere Heh
Same goes for Aaron Paul, I feel like a lot of the BrBa cast seems very cool
Bryan Cranston is like a really confident and funny version of Walter White. He's awesome!
Walter White if he didn't leave Gray Matter for 5000 dollars
@Ramennoodles The Good Ending
Walter white if he never married Skylar.
@Sparty syklar wihte mean worst braekign bed charter
Walter white if healthcare was free
I love Bryan Cranston. He just seems like such a genuinely well balanced and likeable guy :)
He does
You can tell by the way he defended Jesse
he isss dude
He has, at least in the animated Batman Year One movie.
How do you know he's not acting?
I'll always remember getting blown away watching Breaking Bad for the first time. I only ever knew Cranston from Malcolm in the Middle, watching Heisenberg emerge was such a dramatic shift in tone for his career. He portrayed a good villain! Thank you for all your submissions in art, Bryan. A legend.
i had the same experience!
I love Breaking Bad and have never seen MITM aside from a few scenes on BRclip, and it blows me away that it's the same guy! Incredible range
Over the course of a few years I kept hearing how good BB was - that it was legendary, even while it was still running. I hadn't been watching much series TV (still don't) so I simply wanted to see what the big deal was. I wound up seeing the whole series over the course of maybe 3-4 months and yeah, I saw what the big deal was. It's one of TV's best offerings ever, and I expect I'll want to go through it all again.
@hubbsllc It's funny you say that, I too wasn't too big on watching TV and still aren't really. BB broke the mould for me! If you haven't watched El Camino or Better Call Saul you absolutely should!
@hubbsllc You should watch better call saul if you havent already, its just as good as BB and sometimes I liked it even more!
I'm always love Walter White's iconic quote, "I am not in the danger, Skyler. I am the danger!" and then he dangered all over Skyler.
😩
he is indeed A DANGER
😳😳😳
You got one part of that wrong...
Ah, classic line.😌
Bryan Cranston is a national treasure and must be protected at all cost.
International
Trite.
International treasure
You think someone needs protection its him?
Hes the one who protects!
I'm not looking forward to his passing
I met Bryan Cranston and he’s truly an incredible person. Humble and hilarious in person
wish i was you
@munky same
I bet he was the chemistry teacher you met in highschool
I am a filmmaker and Brian's work with Vince Gillighan (but not limited to) is nothing less than awe inspiring every time I watch it. Thanks for being an endless source of inspiration for me and thousands of other storytellers. I am forever grateful.
Bravo Vince!
Peter G crying in a corner from all the kids who watch BB who think Vince wrote it all by himself 🤦♂️😂
One of the finest actors of all time. Walter White, one of my favourite characters of all time, in one of the greatest shows of all time! This is how special he is.
True ❤😊
All time
This is one of the comments of all time.
Ughh I’m so used to people saying “one of the of all time” that I initially interpreted that as an insult 😅
i love bryan and brba but why is a r4p1st and serial abuser one of your favorite fictional characters
Never thought I'd ever see Bryan Cranston answer a question of mine. Weird feeling lol.
He just likes bushes apparently
Yeah the guy who played walter white really did it
5:46
Lol you got answered by the goat
He holds a special place in my heart. He looks exactly like my dad who passed in 2010 when I was 20. Especially in the beginning of BB. I doubt he will see this but in the off f*cking chance he does thank you for all you do. Whenever I watch anything he’s in I subconsciously think of my father. Love from Chicago my friend!
I’m sorry for your loss man.
this is beautiful
darkclaws914
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss dude
It’s honestly good, we want more BB but Vince left the show in a beautiful trifecta of a beginning, middle, and end as Bryan put it, I absolutely loved the show
Bryan actually has an incredible voice. I'd listen to any audiobook he narrated. Someone get on that!
He has golden voice
He narrates his own memoir on Audible!
He narrated the Audiobook version of The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien and he was perfect for it! Great book with the greatest audiobook narration I've ever heard (and still my favorite)
Facts
"Jesse, did you put your name in the goblet?"
People keep telling me I'm crazy for saying this, but I swear Bryan would make an incredible live action Omni-Man. He's already proven he can pull off a Dad role as well as a terrifying murderer role.
YES!! I can totally see it! Especially since he’s rockin’ the hair and mustache now.
Nah omni man's voice actor would be best. He looks just like him.
Not nearly jacked enough
Not nearly jacked enough
Someone should cast him as LBJ in a drama history, or alternate history TV show. Guy looks exactly like him
Im rewatching Breaking Bad right now (for the 4th time), but this time with my 14 year old daughter's first watch. It's awesome watching it again with someone who's never seen it. Bryan's portrayal of Walt never gets old, incredible character. We are on the final 6 episodes... then we start her first time seeing Better Call Saul 😊
Then finish it off with El Camino
Then TRULY finish it off with Slippin' Jimmy
@imageignition23 actually I think we may do El Camino n then BCS. But as of right now she don't know El Camino exists lol Don't want her to know what happens to Jesse, n then...'surprise! He has his own movie!' Lol
BCS turned out to be such a different show from Breaking Bad. If anything, I think it supasses BB - that creative team got progressively better as time went on.
@Thomas JamesThat’s what I’m doing. I’m still on BCS but I watched El Camino before BCS.
It's funny to me that Breaking Bad is where people seem to have discovered what an amazing actor Bryan Cranston is... those of us who watched Malcolm in the Middle already knew. Hal may be a character played mostly for laughs, but he pulled that character off to a degree that is simply incredible.
What you believe me if I said my first exposure to him was from Godzilla xD
A policeman? That explains the amazing stache. He studied policing just long enough to get the secret to growing one of those.
If you ever meet that girl again, tell her a big thank you from all of us. Without her, we would have missed out on the great actor you are.
A MitM reunion would be awesome! Hal and Lois forever!
He can be so funny yet add so much depth to Walter White, such a talent.
I love Bryan Cranston. An extraordinary actor and human being.
I think he would do such a wonderful job voicing an animated Ganondorf in a TLOZ movie. His voice is perfect and he could perfectly balance the menacing and humorous nature of the character and the vibe of the games. Obviously, he's not the physical embodiment of the character for a live action performance, but even then they could use CGI on a body double and get a great facial performance
I love actors like him that nail every role. Goofy dad, egg head, king pin, undercover agent. Bravo!
Esse cara é incrível man, queria dá um abraço nesse ser humano espetacular 🫂
I love how he didn’t say no he said do it as a hobby, fantastic answer
It is. Most don't make it as an actor.
Him and Aaron staying friends after all this time is just so wholesome ❤
This man is a gem, protect him at all costs
Hilarious storyteller. Saw him on Graham Norton and he was captivating.
The look he gives to the camera while saying ''And boy, the research would be fun'' was spot on. I totally see him playing Hugh Hefner and doing a brilliant job. I hope some day he get's to do that research.
I appreciate that last answer he gave, too many times were told that if you dont put your 100% into something you should give up on it or leave it alone. Instead, how about turning it into a hobby, that way you can pursue something else in the career field but still be able to enjoy that hobby
Exactly. 99.99% of actors don't make it a career. Even good actors.
Too much competition.
4:21 As this sentence went on, goose bumps covered my entire skin more and more.
All the post-BB Walter White content feels like a fever dream.
That flash video where he intimidates a tied up viewer and even speaks a customized name, it was one of the best cross-overs with the real world a show could make. The one who made that up needs a raise.
Bryan is so unbeliavably funny without even trying, love him.
The way Bryan looks in this video, he could DEFINITELY play a current-day James Hetfield in a Metallica biopic.
True ❤😊
YEAH
spot on
Maaaannn...!!! Great eye you've got right there!!!
Commisioner Gordon
Актёр с большой буквы) глубокий и очень интересный человек, спасибо команде и ему за это видео
As popular as he is I still think he's underrated considering his incredible talent and amazing personality. He reminds me of a Robin Williams-tier actor & comedian. Also seems about as genuine and kind as Williams.
can we thank Bryan Cranston's Counselor? if it wasn't for him we wouldn't even have Bryan in the acting world. the butterfly effect works in mysterious ways
Bryan Cranston should've played Commissioner Gordon a long time ago. You are undoubtedly a brilliant actor and an amazing person!.
What a cool dude. He always seems so genuine and humble
Bryan is just pure awesomeness.
this man is so charismatic and fantastic that every word that comes out of his mouth feels like words of wisdom
Bryan's voice somehow fits every stage Walter goes into in the series
I love how Wikipedia editors roll back most of the edits done by celebrities on their own pages.
At least in this scenario (I checked) it was partially re-added after this released with citations
As they should.
Autobiographical content is considered a conflict of interest, that's why they remove it. You can't talk about yourself on your wiki page.
And the Reddit comments are often auto-deleted too because the account karma is too low.
@UndeadFleshgodReddit is STILL doing that all these years later? God I hate reddit with a passion 😂
@UndeadFleshgod makes no sense
Fantastic! The most interesting (and nicely distilled) behind-the-scenes I have ever watched. Bravo.
Cranston has always been one of the few A-list actors that just seems like a regular dude that doesn't have this super inflated ego of himself; he's just really good at acting
bryan cranston needs to be loved while he's alive and remembered for his amazing tv and film work. long live bryan cranston! one of america's national treasures!!!
Love him sm..such a talented, brilliant and humble actor
Literally one of my favorite actors, Bryan is great
True ❤😊
He’s the goat pretty much now.
Loved him in Malcolm in the middle. I think comedic actors are underrated. I think more actors could credibly play Walters White than Hal. Cranston was so commited to that role!
Bryan Cranston seems like such a great human. That is all. ❤
You are undoubtedly a brilliant actor and an amazing person!
Oh my gosh! If Malcom came back I’d binge hardcore. Bring it back please!!!
This is truly the moment Heisenberg became Bryan Cranston. How inspiring.
Watched Breaking bad @ 2015 and again on @ Sep 2023 and the series and character gave a different lesson at different time and lifezone. Especially i believe "Yo Mr.White" the way it got sounded by Aaron Paul had made it more perfect for the character Mr White. I would love to see exactly what happened to the family after White died and the PPL in touch with Walter especially did grey matter live upto their promise😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would actually like to see a one off of Malcom where it isn't anything special. Just a one off episode where they all happen to be over at the house for a bit and a couple funny things happen. Not too much fan service but don't over complicate it. The show would allow for that.
Hal is genuinely one of the funniest characters ever.
I remember hearing that story about the first day at acting class in his "Inside the actor's studio" interview, it was really a masterclass from him.
Such a good guy. That last comment about acting really inspired me because I felt those same feelings when I joined my first high school play and i knew I wanted to dedicate some part of my life to that. Even if it's just a hobby :)
This guy is totally awesome no matter what he does!!!!!!!!! Has to be a really great guy to hang out with and chop it up
Man I love these. And to have one with Bryan Cranston is just wonderful.
A very good and versatile actor. One of the greatest actors in American history.
This man is a comedic genius, and I feel like he deserves more respect as an actor.
I agree that he's amazing but I feel he gets adequate praise. He is one of the most well respected and praised actors of all time.
When talking about how the Walter White roles keep coming back to him, there's a real sense of Robin Williams in Bryan's face when he smiles.
We don't deserve this man. Such an eloquent and chill guy
For him to go from Tim Whatley, to Hal Wilkerson to Walter White is absolutely incredible
Gotta say, Bryan’s appearance in Its Always Sunny was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while
I made my kids watch Malcolm in the middle! So well written and so funny!
This is definitely a Bryan Cranston moment of all time
What an absolute legend & a fine actor ❤
The mustache is really doing it for me. But yeah, the ending of BB was brilliant, and the whole series was perfectly paced.
Bryan Cranston is a national treasure
Walter White did a terrific job playing Bryan Cranston on this!
Bryan Cranston isn't known for method acting but, when it came to the Hugh Hefner biopic, he really stepped up to the plate.
His best pickup line will be, "Hi, my name is Bryan Cranston."
The only thing Bryan and Walt have in common are those scenes where Walt is joking and centered with his family around the dinner table. Those scenes that are so few and far between where it seems like everything could be ok. Besides that they could not be more different
This bloke is hilarious. Incredible comedic timing. Thanks Mr. Cranston.
Interesting and honest and down-to-earth as usual.
Interesting he and Aaron Paul clashed a lot on BB. So the fight scenes had reality-tinged emotions. They were always clashing in the series.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure he was joking about them clashing on set. I think he meant their characters - not them as people.
@LilHeatha Smithe’s probably not tbh, when you have two opinions working on a common project, differences in direction and pressure can cause clashes. With acting and such it seems a fairly common thing, but it’s how deal with that and bounce back from it that defines your self as an adult.
I imagine these clashes where nothing too serious hence there amicable relationship today
I just love this man! I love his face, I love his character! and I love the new scruff too. Very distinguished and makes him look younger. Makes me imagine he might be a little closer to eternal and immortal which would be awesome. ❤
This is one of those episodes I could watch for 2+ hours
True ❤😊
You're a great actor. Please don't stop.
2:44 "and boy the research would be fun"😂 I love Bryan Cranston.
the new series "your honor" with bryan is really really good. Such a great actor this men. love him
Malcolm's actor getting to play a role he totally forgot about (amnesia due to an accident if I remember right, not fact-checking) could be an interesting experience to him, to say the least.
I just wanna take the moment to say THANK YOU for existing, Bryan Cranston.
It'd be hilarious to see a brief short film of the breaking bad cast doing a few scenes, but as dogs like in Isle of Dogs. 😂
If there’s one person Bryan should play in a biopic it’s definitely Stan Lee for me, he legit resembles Stan if he had grey hair, the right glasses and a grey moustache
"do it as a hobby" is such an insanely strong note to end on. too many creatives are told give it all and die trying or dont even try while he knows the value in loving expressing yourself creatively for your own sake; fun.
anyone looking to do as a hobby; take some classes from supermarket notices, online bulletins, or maybe start playing DND lol i've revealed many inner Theatre kids from people who wanna hit goblins which ends up turning into some Bladerunner campaign years later thanks to dice helping us get into character.
beautifully answered - easy to sing when you're winning of course but still good to hear!
I wonder what Bryan's thoughts are on that weird issue people had with the Godzilla movie, when they used him in all the trailers, but his role was a very small portion in the beginning of the film.
I can't imagine he would really care how much he was or wasn't used as "bait" to get people in seats since thats part of the job. But it would be interesting to know how he feels in the perspective of the people who were hoping to see him as a main character. Very niche thought I just had from being reminded of it from this.
Oh my gosh. I had just sneezed and was working on my second one when he said “bless you”. Had to back it up to make sure he said it again before I flipped out. Thanks Bryan I guess.. 😳
5:15 I can feel the Heisenberg talk when he talks about if he misses it or not lol
True ❤😊
All of the cast were absolutely brilliant in breaking bad! And the better call Saul series!
Bryan just feels so wholesome,. I love it.
I love that all actor that have an iconic character treat this character as a separated entity.
Such an amazing actor!
When Bryan talks, we listen.
True ❤😊
And he is the one who knocks
I'd love to see their reaction when they find out the person that replied wasn't a troll, but literally Bryan Cranston.
One of the greatest actors of all time!
I forget Bryan is a comedic actor too so sometimes when he does something funny it really takes me by surprise and I think "oh, right, of course"
this guy is a living legend
Bryan Cranston could single handedly save both Star Trek and Star Wars franchises. He's so good, he probably wouldn't even need a speaking part.
If I won a chance to have dinner with a celebrity it would be him. He's just so cool.
