The Bald Truth: Sigourney Weaver and Bryan Cranston Talk Shaved Heads

James Corden is delighted to welcome Sigourney Weaver and Bryan Cranston to the show. Sigourney came straight from James Cameron’s handprints and footprints ceremony at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre and it gets the trio discussing what an odd tribute it is. Then after a look at Bryan’s wild mane and beard for his show “Your Honor,” James asks Sigourney about shaving her head for Alien 3, which prompts Bryan Cranston to share his own experience of a shaved head from his time as Walter White on “Breaking Bad.” Then Sigourney talks about the upcoming “Working Girl” remake and her recent trip to Italy before Bryan treats everyone to his incredible mime skills.

Bryan Cranston is a treasure, and Sigourney Weaver is an icon.

[@EnzoTheBaker]

Have they worked together before in any show or movie? They should.

[@florl.delgado4093]

#FACT

[@PrinXessDime]

100% agree! I just wish this wasn’t on James *fuckass* Corden’s show 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@TTikuu]

@@EnzoTheBaker Bryan should join the Avatar series, not gonna lie.

[@michaelb3927]

Bryan deserved more recognition for All the Way for movie and the stage version! He nailed LBJ

[@apap1586]

Sigourney Weaver; I don't care what anyone says; is the number one female actress action star of all time. She had the most deadly on-screen enemies an Actor/Actress can deal with in any movie franchise. The mighty Xenomorphs.

[@evernevermore-ci2so]

I completely agree. Sarah Connor is right up there too. But Ripley was the first. Smart, strong, determined. Sigourney was incredible in that role.

[@BRockIITWi]

Thank God Jennifer Lawrence made it possible!!!

[@apap1586]

@@evernevermore-ci2so Interesting matchup. Terminator certainly a quick kill. Xenomorph can be a slow or quick death,, they can quick kill you, cocoon you ,or use their capture humans for food ( AVPR , Alien 3)

[@yvankrzeslo6366]

after 40 years i can say this : SW is the ultimate badass❤❤❤

[@Psimon3]

Between her and Linda Hamilton.

[@evernevermore-ci2so]

Sigourney Weaver is so amazing. Her role in Alien changed how women are seen in horror and film in general. They don't have to be the damsel in distress or the victim. They can be the hero. 100%. And now we have Sarah Connor and so many other great female heroes who are strong and brave. She will forever be an icon.

[@Summon256]

Yeah sure, just make sure you have great writer for this "brave and strong" thing not to end up like first all-female Ghostbusters reboot and we are fine! LOL

[@GreenFalcon926]

Women in horror movies are rarely the damsel in distress. In a vast majority, they are the sole survivor who kills the villain. Ripley is just the best one.

[@yvankrzeslo6366]

Sigourney Weaver is a legend. I grew up with her movies, and i will never stop loving her.

[@ingevonschneider5100]

Sigourney Weaver looks great. No plastic surgery, natural beauty.

[@DanViop]

She had plastic surgery, but in a very soft, natural way.

[@steveforbes9302]

It's nice to see an actress who can still show expression on their face.

[@fpm3121]

From the whole show, You had to focus on the beauty and aging of the woman.... 🙄

[@ekko808]

I love Sigourney Weaver. That is all.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Love her too.

[@dhgemein2]

Somebody needs to cast Ms Weaver as a US president. Her presence is so commanding.

[@tashaallen8359]

I think she she go ahead and actually run for president. It wouldn't be the first time an actor ran for president.

Aliens 2 was the first movie at my youngest that informed me that women can kick ass and be maternal and be sexy doing it. Ms Weaver will always have a special place in my heart.

[@saltau3734]

Sigourney looks so good, she could easily pull off another stint as Ripley

[@IvanIvanov-xd3dg]

Nothing can't ever beat Alien and Aliens in my opinion, and in the serials department, Breaking Bad is truly a masterpiece.

Sigourney Weaver looks great. Not just great.. she looks amazing.

[@leogarbino]

It's unbelievable she is 73 years old. She is so beautiful and young!

[@Skoora]

She’s also fantastic as the entitled, narcissistic boss in Working Girl. Great match with Bill Murray in Ghostbusters. Also hilarious as a con woman in Heartbreakers. Scheming Step Mother in Snow White, a Tale of Terror. Love her.

[@roisinhart]

This was quite the duo in one episode absolutely epic 😍

[@TheJapaneseDeskFlipper]

Cutting of Sigourney Weaver at 3:13 genuinely hurt me. Let them tell their stories man.

[@theplourde]

Jennifer Lawrence must be so proud that sigourney is a big sci fi action star lol

[@TaldrenMGMoonGuard]

I love Sigourney so much because when I was a kid there were no movies or TV shows where a woman wasn't just needing saving. Then I saw "Aliens". Thank you Sigourney for giving us Gen X women that power. We always had it sometimes it just needs a nudge or a poke.

[@rank1132]

Anytime I see her I just need to go watch the first two Alien films

[@florl.delgado4093]

Loved this. Sigourney and Bryan are SPECTACULAR in EVERY WAY?!!! Thank you for sharing!! ❣️😊

[@srbaran]

Bryan Cranston emanating some Mr. Bean energy with his miming.

[@digimeth1216]

Sigourney has aged wonderfully... Damn I'm old.

[@thehunterxxnine1346]

Sigourney still looking as beautiful and sexy as she has been her whole career, even for her age today, she is still one of the greatest protagonists in a horror sci fi film franchise like Alien.

[@GB-TX]

These two are on the "who you'd like to have at dinner" list for sure.

[@iwontbebeat7111]

I love her... Last great female action hero actress .

[@Indy_21]

Well, not to forget Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron.

The sculptor that did the Cristiano sculpture had a very difficult time after that sculpt. He did a 2nd sculpt that is magnificent. Sometimes all you need is one more opportunity 🙏

I really love Bryan Cranston and Sigourney Weaver in a comedy/ drama movie together

Alien 3 is criminally underrated 😢

Well, it is underrated, but I wouldn't say criminally underrated. It has its flaws.

[@MichaelSaraka1980]

Ellen Ripley and Walter White

[@fawad12able1]

Bryan is such a great actor that he immediately went into the character of a Scientist/professor just by body and facial expressions. Not even a script, no make up just him acting

[@MakeUpArgentinaPaolaRodriguez]

Ripley is PERFECTION ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@ClaudioMichel]

It pissed me off so much when everyone was all over Gal Gadot... 😡 "OMG finally a great female superheroe!!!" 🤬 Yeah, how about Sigourney Fucking Weaver as Ripley? Who did way more badass stuff 30+ years ago, like fighting an alien queen in melee combat and all that without magic stuff and being a goddess!

[@theavengers.]

Love both of them

[@rreece7133]

Those statues are awesome! They look amazing!

[@EpicJasonX9000]

Alien 3 is one of the most under rated & severely under appreciated films ever made. and I'm happy that it does have it's defenders and that people do genuinely love the film because it does deserve the same amount of praise as the previous 2 films, especially the Assembly Cut.

[@stocktonthompson]

They are so grounded and likeable. Really great people.

B.C where perfect for Gordon Freeman in a Half Life Movie 😁

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

Gordon Freeman is a 27 year old. An important part of his characterization in the first _Half-Life_ is that most of his scientist coworkers at Black Mesa don’t respect him before the resonance cascade because he’s a young man who has just received his PhD degree, and the new guy in the workplace. He’s young and inexperienced. (Also he was really late for work and holding up the experiment they had been planning with the anti-mass spectrometer.) It’s also why Eli is so adamant that Alyx get together with Gordon. He was a nice accomplished young man, and they are close in age (accounting for time travel/stasis).

[@rlawrence9838]

James Gordon forgeting that it was only the third and least successful alien film in which she was bald made it a bit of an awkward beginning of the discussion.....Yeah it was a super cool image but its not iconic of the whole franchise like he made it sound.....I suppose its a bit of a trivial comment but why is he always off a bit no matter what he does...he almost sounded like he was talking about actual romantic love of them both.
