It was a delightful shock for fans when Bryan Cranston went from playing the immature, fun dad, Hal, inMalcolm in the Middleto playing the ruthless Heisenberg inBreaking Bad. One of the best TV shows ever made,Breaking Badfeatured Bryan Cranston as a chemistry professor turned drug seller, Walter White, and Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman, Walter’s former student and partner.
TheTrumboactor wanted to take a different route from his comedy roles when the Walter White role came his way. Outside of hisBreaking Badcharacter, Cranston still remains the funny, lovable guy, as evident from his interviews.

During this time, Cranston andAaron Paulappeared onConanto talk about their show and other aspects with the host,Conan O’Brien. The discussion turned to the loyal fans of the show when theAsteroid Cityactor revealed a fan letter that can only be described as cringeworthy.
TheGodzillaactor began reading the letter for theConanaudience, and their reactions ranged from hilarious laughing to cringing discomfort. The letter began with a disclaimer, which raised red flags for both the guests and the host. The letter’s introduction, as narrated by Cranston onConan, read:
“Dear Bryan Cranston, let me preface this letter by saying, I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology and I have never been diagnosed with any psychotic disorder.”
The disclaimer made sure that the letter was not going to be a typical fan letter. As it turned out, the fan wrote a voyeuristic fantasy about theBreaking Badactors that was so cringey it would make one want to turn inside out.

The Fan Fantasy That Made Bryan Cranston Cringe
In the letter, the fan revealed to Bryan Cranston that they binge-watchedBreaking Badin just two days after locking themselves inside their apartment. After watching the show, the fan also watched some of the actors’ interviews. The fan’s obsession with the show reached such a peak that they fantasized about having s*x with Aaron Paul withThe Infiltratoractor watching. The letter stated (viaConan):
“I am writing to you because I have been holed up in my apartment for two days and nights watching all seasons of your show. I am in love with it all. After I was done with all the episodes, I watched some interviews. And what this has all amounted to, is that right now, I am fantasizing about having s*x [pause] with Aaron Paul. And for you to be there watching. I am not sure what your role would be, but I think I want you there.”
Paul, O’Brien, and his sidekick, Andy Richter, burst out laughing along with the audience. The reaction was partly due to the content of the letter and partly because of Cranston’s comedic delivery as he read the letter. There’s no denying the fact that theArgoactor possesses great comedic talent. Richter, however, thought the letter was from a male fan, which sent another round of hysterical laughter through the audience.
