Bryan Cranston: Being famous is like being a pregnant woman

As for his upcoming turn as Lyndon Johnson in HBO’s take on Robert Schenkkan’s play All the Way, the 59-year-old is ready to show a new generation what he (and the one-time ruler of the free world) is made of.

The play transferred to Broadway in March 2014, and Cranston won a Tony Award for his performance. The Pulitzer Prize victor for “The Kentucky Cycle” previously worked with Spielberg on HBO’s “The Pacific“. James Degus, who runs Moon Shot, will co-executive produce.

“We simply filmed him and Lady Bird within the Oval Office, after JFK’s assassination”, Roach stated. LBJ has arrived as the ‘accidental President.’ He’s nearly overwhelmed.

We totally get where the Breaking Bad actor is coming from but we doubt he REALLY comprehends what’s like to carry a child for nine months.

Bryan Cranston starred in one of the most acclaimed dramas in TV history for more than five years – but the award-winning actor is just now getting used to the fame. From the first look of Cranston in character, it’s obvious that his makeup artist went all the way to ideal the transformation.

Cranston, best known for his meth-dealing White in Breaking Bad, had earlier played the 36th president in the tony-winning stage production “All The Way”.

The cast also features Anthony Mackie as Martin Luther King, Melissa Leo as Lady Bird Johnson, Bradley Whitford as Hubert Humphrey and Stephen Root as J. Edgar Hoover. His latest film is Jay Roach’s “Trumbo“, in which he stars in the title role of Dalton Trumbo, the successful Hollywood screenwriter whose career came to an end when he was blacklisted in the 1940s McCarthy era for being a Communist.
