Bryan Cranston on Trump, protest, patriotism and his new film Last Flag Flying

Patriotism, duty and service. These are the themes of Last Flag Flying, a new film starring Bryan Cranston. Best known as Walter White in Breaking Bad, he's taken on the role of a Vietnam veteran.
He's one of three friends who served together in the conflict - and who reunite to bury one of their sons, killed in the Iraq War. We spoke to him about loyalty to one's country - and to the commander-in-chief.

This interview is embarrassing! Why are you giving him an intense political interview when he's a Hollywood actor? You always do this Channel Four and it's not news, it's cringey.

[@Suka917]

Agreed

[@peaveyst7]

so what? is it forbidden to have an opinion as a celebrity?

[@1wibble230]

Because he’s happy to talk about it and has talked politically many times in the past. Sounds like you’re afraid to listen to a different opinion to yours.

Bryan Cranston was my fav actor before this

[@ronaldreagan359]

@The Gamer 8787876 Bryan Cranston is a funny, savage and serious man as well. He’s a great actor and a great man and even my profile pic and name is Bryan Cranston but you know, he comes from the Hollywood liberal cradle and he has been with the clown jimmy kimmel which hates Trump and is obsessed with him as well, the news are very anti Trump , there are much factors that could make him hate Trump but what we know is that actors don’t know politics, all they know is what Hollywood teaches them. So he states that Trump has done a bad military work and that he only wants war which is completely fake, he is in peace with Nor Korea and with Russia and they cooperate , 2019 and they are good friends, and he always puts America first. Our military is doing something, they defeated Isis while Obama sold guns to Isis and let’s not ignore how our economy has done great with Trump unlike Obama.

[@peaveyst7]

and? as your president is votet by a minority, you should deal with the fact that most people doesnt like him...

and thats simply not true. obamas second fiscal year your economy started rising skyrockets. loans where raised, unemployement dropped. how does it came up that republican voters are not able to agree on the simple fact that the obama years wherent as bad as foxnews described them?
