LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 (UPI) — Actor Bryan Cranston called presidential hopeful Donald Trump “refreshing’” for the 2016 race during a podcast Monday.
The Breaking Bad star was a featured guest on Chris Hardwick’s weekly podcast The Nerdist talking about his fame, television work and bowling.
The conversation quickly turned to politics after joking about how bowling wasn’t the esteemed sport that it once was. Hardwick shared that he wanted to create a show about the significance of bowling to which Cranston replied, “Maybe when President Trump is inaugurated.”
“I actually like his candor,” Cranston continued, then went into an imitation of Trump: “You’re an idiot. I’m a winner, you’re a loser.”
“There’s something so refreshing about shaking up that world that is all about being handled and here comes this loose cannon who has terrible ideas and would be a horrible president, but there’s something great about his ‘I-don’t-give-a-[expletive]’ attitude that really kind of keeps others honest,” Cranston said. “I think it’s a surprise benefit to the country, actually.”
In reference to the GOP debates, Cranston said, “I can’t wait to see these and many more,” before saying of Trump, “I hope he stays in for a long, long time. And just collapses that whole tent of his.”
The Trump comments begin at 1:16:20 in the audio below.
Bryan Cranston will next be seen in the new film Trumbo out November 6.
