Bryan Cranston is preparing for his temporary retirement in 2026 to spend more time with his wife, Robin Dearden. He had a lengthy career in show business, earning minor roles during the 1980s and getting his big break in the 1990s.
To most people, he is known as Walter White from the 2008 Breaking Bad series, a chemistry teacher whose descent into the criminal underworld turned him into an antihero. With all his fame and fortune, Cranston felt the sudden urge to slow down and devote more time to his family.
Bryan Cranston Wants To Retire Because Of His Wife
In his interview with British GQ, actor Bryan Cranston reveals the reason why he plans to put his acting career on hold. For the past decades, he has been tirelessly working on numerous projects that have affected his personal life. This time, he wanted to “change the paradigm once again.” He stated:
“For the last 24 years, Robin has led her life holding onto my tail. She’s been the plus one, she’s been the wife of a celebrity. She’s had to pivot and adjust her life based on mine. She has tremendous benefit from it, but we’re uneven. I want to level that out. She deserves it.”
This is truly a sweet gesture from Cranston as he finally wants to make up for the lost time because he was busy with his acting job. He noted that even before they got married, they had been going into therapy. He further shared:
“I look at it like the warning light going off on your dashboard. It’s telling you, ‘You might want to pay attention to this.’ I love my wife, and we want to go the distance, but I want to do it in a healthy way.”
Indeed, the only way to fulfill this goal is to hit the pause button on his work, and this is where his three-year exit plan from show business comes in. Cranston intends to finish all his projects by 2026 so he can finally get that much-deserved break.
