In a recent episode of the “Dinner’s on Me” podcast Bryan Cranston decided to share some fascinating anecdotes from his life. As it turns out, when he was about 20 years old, he faced serious accusations. Why was there an arrest warrant issued for him?
In the 1970s, the actor traveled across the United States with his brother Kyle. As their funds began to dwindle, They decided to work as waiters in a restaurant called “Hawaiian Inn”. The place was run by Peter Wong, a rather unpleasant man. Jokes about how to “get rid” of a troublesome owner were common.
“You’re in the kitchen, there are a million ways to get rid of someone in the kitchen.”
Of course they were jokes among friendswhich never went beyond this zone.
When the brothers’ budget was supplied with the appropriate amount of money, they decided to move on. As it turns out, this was the moment Peter Wong went missing.
“We didn’t know that the moment we said goodbye and left work, Peter Wong was missing. He wasn’t found for a week, a week and a half, even two weeks.”
As luck would have it, while Wong was hit in the head and robbed, the Cranston brothers left town. This led investigators to the possibility that the siblings were connected to this case.
Fortunately, before the entire investigative machine set in motion and the men were hunted down, the police managed to piece together the pieces of this mystery. After interviewing witnesses and collecting surveillance footage, it was possible to catch the real perpetrators, who were not the Cranston brothers.
This is not the only blood-curdling story from the life of a famous actor. After divorcing his first wife, Bryan Cranston dated a woman for some time and had an affair with her. However, he quickly ended the relationship, finding out that the woman had an addiction problem.
After the relationship ended, he carelessly decided to meet the woman on a friendly basis.
“We were drinking and eating and she prepared a beautiful meal, and then everything started to change. She started talking as if we were still together. And I thought, ‘Oh, I made a mistake,'” the actor revealed.
As it turned out, he had a good feeling — a woman showed up on the set of one of the productions one day and started reproaching Cranston. He was so shocked by her anger that he began to consider “cutting” the woman out of his life. At that moment, the actor was terrified of himself, he was surprised at how many bad emotions this petite woman had triggered in him. However, nothing happened.
Bryan Cranston is 67 years old and has been appearing in various productions for a long time. He played both dramatic and comedic roles. In 2016, he appeared in a comedy “Why him?” in the role of a grumpy father who does not support his daughter’s life choices, he played in the series “North – South” about the Civil War, and became most recognizable thanks to the iconic role of Walter White – a chemistry teacher suffering from cancer, in the series “Breaking Bad”.
The actor had a difficult start in life. Bryan Cranston revealed that he grew up in a family that struggled with poverty and addiction on a daily basis. After the actor’s mother fell into alcoholism, he and his siblings survived thanks to the support of social welfare centers and the use of food stamps. At the age of 11, when his parents lost their home, he was left in the care of his grandparents.
This difficult path taught him to appreciate what he had achieved and to keep his feet firmly on the ground. He worked on his trauma for many years, but eventually managed to overcome it.
The actor often appeared in TV series and films, but these were rather smaller roles. He made his debut at the age of 12 in the TV series “Only One Life”, but became recognizable only after playing Buzz Aldrin in the TV series “From the Earth to the Moon”.
After appearing in “Breaking Bad” he became so recognizable that he received promotional incentives for his films, even though he did not get the main roles.
Bryan Cranston has been married to Robin Dearden since 1989, whom he met on the set of the series “Airwolf”. The couple has a daughter, Taylor. The actor was previously married to writer Mickey Middleton.
