“When I was filming the show, I obviously was a kid,” he said. “We did seven seasons, 151 episodes. I didn’t really watch the show when it was on, but I’ve now since watched the show with my wife. We [watched] all 151 episodes, and I realized, ‘Wow, that’s what we were making.’ I can separate myself from being on it and watching it as a fan. I would love to know what the family’s up to.”
Meanwhile, Cranston also spoke to E! about changing up his appearance for season two of his TV legal drama Your Honor, including growing a long, scruffy beard.
“The only person that wasn’t happy with that was my wife,” he joked. “I looked like a feral lion that was being put out to pasture. Like too old for the pride, so they pushed the old one out.”
