FULL FRONTAL GOES BAD

-

BREAKING Bad star Bryan Cranston had an awkward full frontal nude scene in his new movie Trumbo – and attempted to relieve the tension by talking about football.

The actor shot his first fully nude scene as part of a prison sequence in the biopic about controvers­ial writer Dalton Trumbo and admits it was a humiliatin­g experience.

Cranston (pictured), who often stripped down to his underpants in character as drug kingpin Walter White in Breaking Bad, told Playboy: “I remember standing there naked with these three other men in a holding cell, waiting for our turn to come forward. We’re being processed into the penal institutio­n, and we’re giving little looks to each other.

“We’re standing there, naked and quiet. Normally in this type of situation you don’t talk much. But I went the opposite way and talked way too much. It’s a defence mechanism.

“(I) just said the first thing that came to my head. I said, ‘How about those (New Orleans) Saints?’ And they just looked at me like, ‘We’re really going to have a conversati­on?’

“What’s the big deal, right? Just some guys talking about football.”

Cranston had another humiliatin­g moment on the set of his Lyndon B. Johnson biopic All The Way, pretending to chat to castmates as he relieved himself.

“Lyndon used to go to the bathroom and still be in a conversati­on, and he’d just start taking a s**t!,” the actor chuckles.

“People would be backing away and he’d be like, ‘What the hell are you saying? Get over here!’

“I went all out with it, just dropped my pants and underwear and sat down on the toilet.”
