During an interview with GQ, the Asteroid City star revealed his plans to revisit the character for a 20th-anniversary reunion project, as the show’s creator Linwood Boomer approached him.
“I’m curious about that family 20 years later. What happened to them? Where are they? What are the kids doing? They’re grown men now.”
And now that Cranston has finally met his on-screen son, Malcolm, he must be intensely satisfied. The actor also mentioned temporarily returning from work responsibilities in 2026, to enjoy life and have a long vacation. The Jerry & Margo Go Large star said:
“I want to go for day trips and have the fire in the fireplace and drink wine with new friends and not read scripts. It’s not going to be like, ‘Oh, I’ll read and see what I’m going to do.’ No, it’s a pause. It’s a stop. I won’t be thinking about [work]. I’m not going to be taking phone calls.”
Bryan Cranston mentioned securing notable roles throughout his acting career, and now that he’s content with it, the actor plans to shut down his production company and sell half of the shares of Dos Hombres, a mezcal company co-founded in 2019 by Cranston and Paul.
