Bryan Cranston was critical of Donald Trump while he was running for president, but now that he’s been in the White House for a few months the “Breaking Bad” star is rooting for his success.
“President Trump is not the person who I wanted to be in that office, and I’ve been very open about that,” Cranston told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Monday. “That being said, he is the president.”
Cranston is currently promoting his new post-war drama “Last Flag Flying” in which he plays Vietnam War veteran. But his interview with THR focused mostly on Trump, like many discussions with actors seem to these days.
“If he fails, the country is in jeopardy. It would be egotistical for anyone to say, ‘I hope he fails,’” Cranston pointed out. “To that person I would say, f**k you. Why would you want that? So you can be right?”
