Bryan Cranston says he’s going to retire and move to France in a few years
After conquering both comedy and drama, Bryan Cranston is preparing to take a well-deserved break
Aux News Bryan Cranston
Bryan Cranston (appearing next in Asteroid City) has achieved a lot in his career. He was the star of a hit Fox sitcom, the star of a hit drama, and he even played Zordon in the underrated Power Rangers movie reboot. Now, with no worlds left to conquer (those are the main three), Cranston has announced that he’s going to shut down his production company and retire… for at least six months. In several years.
So this isn’t especially dramatic, and it doesn’t mean that we’ll never get to see Bryan Cranston again, but it does sound like he’s really looking forward to taking a break. This comes from GQ UK, which says that Cranston revealed that he’s going to retire once he turns 70 in 2026, if only for six months, so he and his wife can go “live in a small village and learn the language and how to cook and grow a garden” in some foreign country. It sounds like he’s leaning toward France, and he tells GQ that he’s doing this specifically for his wife and all the support she has given him during his career.
“She’s had to pivot and adjust her life based on mind,” he said. “She has tremendous beneft from it, but we’re uneven. I want to level that out. She deserves it.” Cranston imagines himself going on little trips and sitting by a fire place and having time to “drink win with new friends and not read scripts,” and goddamn, that sounds lovely (if only we were all lucky enough to be married to Bryan Cranston).
The rest of the GQ chat dips into Cranston’s complex “CAPS” system (which stands for Cranston Assessment Of Project Scale), wherein he weighs various factors of a potential project to decide it it’s worth doing. It sounds like a lot of work, though it has clearly brought him success, so it makes sense that he’s looking forward to completely abandoning show biz (and North America) in a couple of years.

Do we have a new winner for typos in a single paragraph?
Maybe it was written with speech to text.
Someone was writing this with a glass of win in hand
That bottel of win was mind! Bastrd!
I would like some of that win please.
After reading this article, I too need to drink some win.
And to adjust my life based on his mind.
I love Bryan Cranston’s mind. His body is good too.
WINNING!
Hey now, Sam has to pound it out fast to beat the herbyAI movement.
Let me just tell you all about the benefts of drinking win. It’ll blow your mnd.
It has to be intentional at this point.
I came on to say the same thing!“She’s had to pivot and adjust her life based on mind mine,” he said. “She has (words missing?) tremendous beneft benefit from it, but we’re uneven. I want to level that out. She deserves it.” Cranston imagines himself going on little trips and sitting by a fire place and having time to “drink win wine with new friends and not read scripts,” and goddamn, that sounds lovely (if only we were all lucky enough to be married to Bryan Cranston).Is Los Angeles where proofreaders and copy editors go to die…?
I hope he knows he’ll have to *gasp* fill out a small mount of paperwork and pay a processing fee to stay in France that long!
Are you hinting at a better alternative? Possibly in South America?
I suspect he will be able to get customs to play along.
Un homme entend frapper à la porte et est abattu. Tu penses ça de moi? Non! Je suis celui qui frappe!Dis mon nom! Monsieur Heisenberg! Vous avez sacrément raison.
Nous devons cuisiner.
“He was the star part of the supporting cast of a hit Fox sitcom”I mean, for fuck’s sake, you don’t HAVE to lie.
“My wife dined here… something fulfilled my wife, and I HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW! So I can make it for her at home.”
Hopefully he comes back to projects 5-10 years from now for a last hurrah Anthony Hopkins-style run.
ie, please give me more money now
He’s already saying “for six months”. This is a vacation, not retirement.
Until he’s ask to do another Superbowl ad…
Well, those take what?A couple hours in front of a green screen?
He came out and corrected this story last night. He’s having a year off but not retiring.
