What do Zac Efron and Bryan Cranston have in common? Dropping condoms on the red carpet wouldn't be our first guess, but it would be correct.

The 24-year-old "High School Musical" star became an inadvertent viral video sensation this week thanks to footage of him from the premiere of his latest film "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax."

And now history has repeated itself ... well, kind of.

Emmy Award winner Bryan Cranston hit the red carpet on Thursday night at the TV Academy's "An Evening with 'Breaking Bad'" event in North Hollywood.

While posing for cameras, condoms just fell everywhere! Sure it was a gag for the cameras -- making fun of Zac's little flub from earlier in the week -- but we have to hand it to Bryan ... it's pretty damn funny.
