Breaking Bad boys! Bryan Cranston reveals he and Aaron Paul had commemorative TATTOOS to mark the series finale



It is a seminal role in television history that transformed Bryan Cranston's career - so it is understandable that the 57-year-old would want something to help remember his time on the Emmy-Award winning series Breaking Bad.



In a new interview the actor has revealed that he and castmate Aaron Paul both got Breaking Bad tattoos on the last day of filming, much to the shock of his wife Robin Dearden.



During the final day on set in Albuquerque, Bryan and Aaron were joined by other crew members at a hotel bar for a goodbye drink, and they decided to get themselves inked by a set decorator who was also a tattoo artist.



Method actor: Bryan Cranston reveals in a new interview with GQ that he once broke down crying on set in Season 2 during a scene where he watches a junkie die as he momentarily saw his own daughter's face.

'I wanted something... something that would give me private personal pleasure, like when I pass by and catch a glimpse of a picture of my mom, or my old manager people who are gone now,' he tells GQ Magazine.



Adding: 'And it seemed appropriate. I mean, Breaking Bad changed my life.'



A shocked sounding wife Dearden revealed: 'Bryan's not a tattoo guy. He's the last person who would ever do it.'

Tattoo: The show's logo that Bryan had inked on his right finger

But the actor, who plays chemistry teacher gone bad Walter White on the hit show, decided upon a smallish design of the Breaking Bad logo on his right finger.



Meanwhile Aaron Paul - who plays his assistant Jesse Pinkman - had 'no half measures' tattooed onto his bicep which relates to the storyline in the episode titles Half Measures.

A camera assistant is also said to have had an enormous logo of the show inked onto his behind.



The final series of the hit AMC show will premiere on August 11, but Bryan has said he 'isn't worried' about how the show will end.



Despite getting suited and styled for the men's magazine shoot, the actor reveals how his lack of vanity helped bring his character Walt to life.



At one point Bryan asked creator Vince Gilligan what the most 'pathetic' thing he could be wearing in a scene was, and Vince replied 'tight-whiteys'.



'I genuinely could not care less how I look,' Bryan said, who has spent a fair amount of the series in small white y-front pants.

But his efforts have certainly paid off, winning four Emmy awards for his role in the show.



As well as his television work which also includes his role as Hal on Malcolm in the Middle, Bryan was recently seen in the films Argo and Drive.

Bryan married his wife Robin Dearden who he met on the set of the show Airwolf - together they have a daughter, Taylor Dearden, who has appeared as an extra in Breaking Bad.
