Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston's wife, Robin Dearden, had a hilarious reaction to the show's pilot script when she first read it.

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston has detailed his wife's hilarious reaction after reading the show's pilot script. Working mostly on sitcoms such as Seinfeld and Malcolm Middle earlier in his career, Cranston's role as meth lead Walter White/Heisenberg on Breaking Bad helped the actor reinvent himself. Breaking Bad ran to critical acclaim from 2008 to 2013, earning Cranston four Primetime Emmys and a Golden Globe for his work on the show.

In an interview with GQ, Cranston recounts some of his most memorable roles, including his most recent role as judge Michael Desiato on Your Honor, and Cranston recounts the first time his wife read The hilarious story of the "Breaking Bad" pilot script. See what Cranston had to say below:

Cranston says he always asks his wife, Robin Dearden, to give him advice on which roles he should and shouldn't play. With Breaking Bad, he knew that when she read the pilot script and said only one word, she agreed. Read Cranston's full quote below:

I remember going to my wife. I always get her counsel, because we're together, whatever I do affects her. So I wanted to get her input on it. And I said to her, 'Just know that this show would shoot in Albuquerque, New Mexico if it were to happen.' And I handed her the script and she started reading the script. And I would peek in to see every once in a while and she was like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom to the end. And right when she got near the end, I came back into the room and she went, 'shit.' She just said 'shit' and I knew that was her approval.

Will Cranston Ever Reprise His Breaking Bad Role Again?

In 2019, Cranston returned in a flashback scene as Walter White in the Breaking Bad sequel film, El Camino. he 2022 did the same, appearing in two episodes of the spinoff series Better Call Saul.

Most recently, Cranston reprized his Heisenberg role in a Breaking Bad-themed PopCorners ad for the 2023 Super Bowl, alongside Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman. While the actor referred to the chips ad as his "retirement episode" from his iconic role, he also joked that he thought his previous relationship with Walter White was over, only to return to the role again when the circumstances were right.

However, at this point it will be nearly 10 years since Breaking Bad ended, and Cranston will soon be stepping down from the role entirely, which would give him the chance to reprise his role as a ticking clock. Cranston's busy schedule, which includes rom-com "Asteroid City" in June 2023 And the spy thriller Argyll, currently in post-production, could make it difficult for the actor to find time for another Walter White cameo.
