Breaking Bad star addresses Malcolm in Middle prequel theory


Breaking bad star Bryan Cranston has come up with an interesting theory that suggests the show is actually a prequel Malcolm in the Middle.

The actor, who recently revealed that he is recovering from COVID-19, appeared via video chat The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (August 10) where he was asked to continue speculation about the possible crossover.

The theory states that Breaking bad is actually a Malcolm in the Middle prequel and instead of dying at the end of the series, Walter White actually survived and morphed into suburban dad Hal.

After a few jokes, Bryan seemed to dismiss the theory – insisting that “Walter White is absolutely dead”.

“I’m not free to access that kind of information without security delays,” he jokingly told Jimmy Fallon.

“I like it. I do not know. No, Walter White is absolutely dead. He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead.”

So there we have the collusion theorists.

The comments follow Bryan who participates in a Malcolm in the Middle reunion of sorts, attending a cast table reading held on Zoom last week. The sitcom originally ran for six years between 2000 and 2006.
