- Bryan Cranston is recalling his time on Broadway
- He’s forgotten his lines on stage before
- He says the “Broadway diet” is “very demanding on your body”
Bryan Cranston has a lot of memories from his time on Broadway… some fonder than others. Broadway’s no joke, and the actor knows that first hand. In a new interview, he recalls forgetting his lines on stage once, and losing weight on the “Broadway diet.”
While working as an understudy for the play “Mass Appeal,” Cranston says his brain totally “shut down” one night. The actor he was filling in for “repeatedly left and returned,” so all the “stepping in and out” had Cranston pretty confused. After attempting the “worst ad-lib ever,” his co-star Mark Harmon was able to save him from the “two-minute” fog that “seemed like 20 minutes.”
Maybe his brain was so foggy because of the “Broadway diet” the actor says you’re bound to lose some weight on. “I won’t leave the theater matinee days. Little soup. Nap. Do it again. It’s friends backstage, hello to fans, home 10:30,” he recalls. “Famished, you have some little something light, maybe pasta. Very demanding on your body.”
