man, can this guy express himself.
I think they wasted a interview with an inexperienced interviewer. Never engaged with Mr. Cranston, not a single follow up based on his answers. Still, Brian made it worth watching.

Such a generous presence. He puts all of himself into it.
This man is fantastic. This “interview” was unbelievably inspiring. Despite the terribly unexperienced interviewer who barely listened to his words, Bryan was able to make me dream and reflect upon my life through his words. A man of sublime culture. Thanks Bryan🙏🏻

In this Q&A Bryan tought a lot of wise advices for our lives. Defenitely he's not just an excellent actor, but an excellent human being too. So rewarding to watch this conference.
You get a subject like him, you have to ask him more intelligent questions. He carried the whole thing on his shoulders. Then again, these are just kids. They'll figure it out.

I have never heard an actor who had so many revealing thoughts and expressed them so well. Fantastic. He wants his audience to succeed and really cares about them. Expressing good and bad times in his life. Figuring it out and coming out on top. I love this actor alot. Thanks.
Came here after finishing reading his biography. He has quite the interesting life behind him and it made him very wise. I would love to see him talk more. And btw, his book/biography is really good. Worth a read even if you usually dont read books or biographies!

I have a comment on the interviewer, which seems to get alot of stick from people. I think she was great! Seemed a bit nervous, but who would not be a bit nervous asking Bryan Cranston questions? The good thing she did, was to let him speak! Never interupted or wanted to steal the limelight herself, so great job! I really enjoyed listening to Bryan, an amazing actor and even better man! Thank you!

Ya I don't know why people are so hung up on the interviewer. She is a kid and the point of the video is for Bryan to share his knowledge to up and coming adults, not to have a good interviewer.

On every OU vid, there is a group of people who love to mock the interviewers' skills as if they (a) could do better (b) had any idea how the union operates (c) comprehended how much work the average Oxford student has to do alongside OU stuff.
Bryan is the cool theater professor whose class everyone on campus wants to take
I'm a simple man: I see Walter White, I click and like.

I love his motivation for getting into acting, no high faluting ideals or claims of destiny, but a very honest answer 😁.

Bryan Cranston is a great life teacher.
He is a very intellectual person! He talks the same way he taught his students in chemistry class.
Bryan is a role model He’s smart, talented, successful and modest
I love how he's talking to these people like he WANTS them to learn and grow from what he's saying. He's not just talking about himself.
excellent presentation by Mr. Cranston. Thanks so much for airing this.
brilliant human - down to earth and super talented - major respect
What a truly beautiful and inspiring human being Bryan Cranston is! Respect!
He's so insightful yet so real.
What a humble, intelligent man. Shit interviewer though Christ almighty.
Damn such wisdom from cranston. Thanks for this Oxford Union!
I could listen to bryan cranston speak all week, man.
I could listen to brian cranston speak all week
Obviously became a huge fan of cranston from the show breaking bad but this guy has been amazing his whole career. From that episode of X-Files back in the day through malcolm in the middle. Even more surprising is how amazing this guy is off the big screen in real life and in interviews. Seems like a really awesome down to earth fun dude unlike 99% of hollywood actors.
Inspiring! Thank you Mr Cranston.
What a brilliant actor. The man is warm, personable and assured - I cannot see a slither of Walter White in him here.

Minute 33:00 one of the best pieces of advice you can have and for free. Mr. Cranston knows what he talks about.
All the people complaining about the interviewer being robotic and not very good. Guys she still has her robo leg you can see they've clearly not finished building her yet let alone programming her.

Sir Cranston. Tell The People "I Hope You All Enjoy My Pain" For Me. God Bless.
Frankie Munez said in an interview that Bryan calls him regularly to check in on him and see how he's doing. I believe it, by all accounts Bryan is as kind and loving as he is talented.
Hes charming.
Papa cranston just gets life, he's my hero
Very enjoyable session.
Did anybody notice at 12:32? Cranston says he was dubbed Sneaky Pete as a little kid? And then he went on to create and co-stare in the Amazon show Sneaky Pete? Isn't that awesome??
Awesome talk :)
I ADORE HIM!!!
Muito bom, super sábio esse cara!
Brian Cranston is the best actor of our time. Even the great Johnny Depp doesn't have his range. what an interesting interview.
Bottle episodes of shows always tend to be my favourites. Pine Barrens for Sopranos or Part 8 of Twin Peaks are the standouts of those shows.

Great advise, travel, those places whom you'll encounter with the language barrier, immerse yourself (and not to casually dip ones toes like a tourist.) Great way of getting lost, (the loss of comfort, of being comfortable.)

Wow! I could listen to him talk all day. It seems like he has lived a very interesting life! He seems very humble and grateful to be where he is! On another note it’s sad how actors have to wear disguises when they go out in public! Being famous definitely comes with the downsides. It’s kind of creepy how we idolize people so much that they aren’t even safe going out in public as themselves!
i enjoy it just many good life advice for real i did that part of go to another country and he is so fucking right it end it up well, this guy amazing, and those bastards who leave the room and d not want become value that is a prove of what he said just love it
Bryan delves into an insightful speech about his life. Interviewer: "fair enough". 🙄
We want the Bellerin video!
Such respect Mr Branson, you are amazing

Our perspectives are very interesting things. First time I watched this I was fascinated on what Brian was saying. Second time I yelled "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW" at the kid on the bottom right at 8:45.

I know I’m very late to this, LOL! She was probably a fellow student. This could’ve been an assignment or a final project? If she’s doing a public speaking major of some kind maybe she got picked to interview Brian. Anyone would be nervous if it was their first or even second time interviewing someone famous in front of classmates.

Is Breaking Bad mentioned? I wonder whether I should watch it.

13 minutes in and I'm amazed that Bryan is giving this awesome interview with absolutely zero emotion, engagement, or followup from the horrific interviewer. She's just checking her questions off like Bryan was a grocery list to be got through.

Yes, but wrong race and gender.
I can believe full well that he knows how to make crystal meth. I'm a chem grad and the science behind that show is pretty solid. All they skim on is the fine details, like why aluminium is needed, why the temperature is important; what reductive amination even means, etc etc. Do your homework to find out!
why does this one have only 96k views?
