Bryan Cranston is one of the most established TV actors of all time and is famous for his famous portrayal of Walter White aka Heisenberg on ABC’s crime drama series, Breaking Bad. The American actor went on to win four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series of which three were consecutive for his portrayal of the meth kingpin on the series.
Bryan Cranston rose to great fame for his role in Breaking Bad and in a recent interview, he revealed how he absolutely humiliated James Corden on their first meeting.
Bryan Cranston and James Corden talk about their first meeting
Bryan Cranston and James Corden recently appeared in an interview on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna and opened up about the time the duo met for the first time and it turned out to be a very embarrassing moment for the former host of The Late Late Show with James Corden. Corden started by narrating the incident and said,
“The first time I ever met Bryan Cranston [was] a huge moment in my life. My wife and I had gone to — she was my girlfriend at the time — and we’d gone to Los Angeles for the first time in our lives, and we’d spent the entire morning watching season 2 of Breaking Bad…We then decide to leave our room and go for lunch, I go for lunch, and who walks in the restaurant but Bryan Cranston. To this day, I have never been as starstruck as I was in that moment.”
Corden further revealed that he went on to talk to Cranston, walked over to him, and was about to start talking when the Sneaky Pete actor mistook him for a waiter and asked, “Could I have some more coffee, please?” Corden further confirmed that was indeed what had happened and said,
“That is completely true. “I said, ‘Bryan, you don’t know me, I’m an actor in the United Kingdom and I was watching the show this morning. Your performance is incredible.’ And he said ‘Thank you, can I get a Diet Coke with no ice?’”
Breaking Bad is currently streaming on Netflix.
