The 'Breaking Bad' actor said that taking a break from acting will give him more time to spend with his wife and allow him to have 'a sort of 'reset'' in his career.
"Hey everyone, I hope this little message finds you well. Some news came out that wasn’t entirely clear…even to me. So I wanted to set the record straight. I am not retiring," he wrote alongside a few pictures of him and his wife, Robin Dearden, at the Cannes Film Festival.
"What I am going to do is hit the pause button for a year after I reach my 70th birthday in 2026. Holy crap — 70!," he continued."I’m not even sure what ‘pausing’ means entirely, but at this moment, I think it means that by taking a year off it will provide several things."Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.Robin Dearden and Bryan Cranston pose on the"Asteroid City" red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival.
Cranston noted that taking a break from acting will give him more time to spend with his wife of 34 years and allow him to have"a sort of 'reset'" in his career. "I feel as though I’m beginning to run out of fresh ideas in how to play characters that I’m being offered. So exploring a more expanded life experience will give me the chance to replenish my soul and prepare for whatever roles I may be afforded in a more authentic way," he said.
