Bryan Cranston Talks Covid-19, ‘Breaking Bad’ From Theory on ‘Fallon’


Bryan Cranston founded a popular Breaking bad fanteory while appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday.

Cranston first gave details about contracting Covid-19 in March, which he tested positive for about the same time as Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. “They came away with it, and I thought, ‘That’s great,'” he told Fallon. ‘There’s no need for another celebrity to say,’ Hey, I got it too. ‘So I just kept it quiet. We were very lucky. So many people are desperately suffering from this. My wife and I had a week of extreme exhaustion and some body aches, a little dry cough. And then it was gone. ”

When Cranston contracted the virus, he donated plasma. “I asked Tom where he was going, and he gave me the address,” he said. The phlebotomist asked Cranston to post about it because there had been a donation in donors. ‘And I thought,’ There’s a good reason to just say to myself, ‘I had it. I’m fine. And if you’ve had it, and you’re fine now, you’ll probably think about donating plasma, because it really helps them. ‘”

Cranston also discussed his recent surprise of previous characters: Hall of Fame Malcom in the Middle (via a Zoom reunion) and Breaking bad‘s Walter White for The Camino. Fallon then asked the actor about a popular fantasy: that Walter White did not really die in the Breaking bad final, but survived his injuries and assumed identity Hall in Malcom in the Middle – make Breaking bad a prequel to the sitcom.

“I’m not free to disclose that kind of information without security clearances,” Cranston cracked. ‘I like it. I do not know. Walter White is absolutely dead. He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead. ”
