Bryan Cranston Retirement Plans Detailed by Breaking Bad Actor

Bryan Cranston is ready to step away from the world of acting.

Bryan Cranston will temporarily step away from acting

The actor recently detailed his retirement plans. In an interview with British GQ, Cranston revealed that in 2026, he will step away from acting, shut down his production company — Moonshot Entertainment — and sell his half of Dos Hombres.

The reason, according to Cranston, is he simply wants to do other things than worry about work.

“I want to have that experience. I want to go for day trips and have the fire in the fireplace and drink wine with new friends and not read scripts,” Cranston said. “It’s not going to be like, ‘Oh, I’ll read and see what I’m going to do.’ No, it’s a pause. It’s a stop.”

Cranston, 67, will be around 70 when he takes the break. He knows it’s a big chance to take, but that he’s “used to that feeling of not knowing.” The actor also said that he wants to spend more time with his wife, Robin Dearden, who he praises for having to “pivot” her own life around his roles.

“I want to change the paradigm once again,” Cranston said. “For the last 24 years, Robin has led her life holding onto my tail. She’s been the plus one, she’s been the wife of a celebrity. She’s had to pivot and adjust her life based on mine. She has tremendous benefit from it, but we’re uneven. I want to level that out. She deserves it.”

Cranston will next appear in Wes Anderson’s film Asteroid City, and is also set to star in Matthew Vaughn’s spy action thriller Aryglle, as well as Jon S. Baird’s upcoming drama Everything’s Going to Be Great.
