Bryan Cranston is one of the most influential actors thanks to shows that are cult classics. From Breaking Bad to Malcolm in the Middle, his career has been one of range and anticipation. This is not an understatement either, seeing that the actor used to be a voice actor for anime early on in his career. With such an interesting career, his love life is no short of stories either.
From his first meeting to his honeymoon with Robin Dearden, it is one story after another. Ironically enough, Cranston managed to hold his future wife hostage, making their first meeting one they can never truly forget. Their meeting came to be on a show in the late 1980s, one that was filled with the terrible fright of sorority girls.
Bryan Cranston Took Robin Dearden Hostage
In an interview with People, Robin Dearden talked about how it was for her to meet Bryan Cranston for the first time in her life. Both of them got to interact on the set of CBS’ Airwolf in 1986. Cranston’s role in the series had been of a lover who went so far as to hijack a cruise full of people visiting for a sorority reunion.
“He had a girlfriend and I had a boyfriend at the time,” Dearden added. “But I thought that he was the funniest man that I had ever met. I said, ‘He’s kind of cute, he’s got a gun…’”
She admitted that the series had been anything but successful, but that was where they got to meet for the first time. It was so bizarre that Cranston even had a gun on her head at that time. However, Dearden saw through it, finding him to be attractive and funny. Unfortunately, both of them were seeing other people at that time.
Robin Dearden was Glad she did not Date Bryan Cranston Back Then
Bryan Cranston, while explaining to People, admitted that Robin Dearden thought if they dated back then, they would have broken up in no time. Although they both had partners at that time, they were able to flirt with each other in a friendly manner.
“I think it was serendipitous, because, as Robin says, if we had been unencumbered at the time and started dating, she doesn’t think that we would have stayed together,” he stated. “But because she had a boyfriend and I had a girlfriend, we were able to flirt without the heavy s*xual tension, but there was s*xual tension, let me tell you! But not the heavy s*xual tension, not the ‘faux pas’ s*xual tension, but it was there.”
He admitted that one benefit they had was the lack of s*xual tension that would make things uncomfortable for them. It was present, according to him, but not in a manner that would interfere with their lives and their growing friendship.
