Update: The Oscar winner’s publicist has since confirmed that Hopkins did indeed send the fan letter below.

Even two weeks after Breaking Bad’s epic series finale aired, the world is still discovering and obsessing over AMC’s Emmy-winning series. Case in point: Anthony Hopkins, who reportedly binge-watched the entire five seasons in a recent two-week marathon. The 75-year-old Oscar winner was apparently so impressed by the series that he e-mailed a kind-hearted fan letter toBreaking Bad’s inimitable lead, Bryan Cranston, which notes, “Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen—ever.”

The letter asks Cranston to pass along similar praise to the rest of the Breaking Badcast including Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, and Steven Michael Quezada—the latter of whom posted the message in full on his Facebook page on Sunday.

Dear Mister Cranston.

I wanted to write you this email - so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber - I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.

I've just finished a marathon of watching "BREAKING BAD" - from episode one of the First Season — to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. [Ed note: There are in fact five seasons of Breaking Bad; this might have been wishful thinking.] (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.

I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!

Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen - ever.

I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I've sort of lost belief in anything really.
