An old story circulated on the internet again this week as Twitter users learned about an unusual fan moment between Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins and Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston. Back in 2013, Hopkins did indeed send an email to Bryan Cranston, which was later publicized on Facebook reportedly by Steven Michael Quezada, one of Cranston’s castmates from Breaking Bad. The letter said: Hopkins’ publicist confirmed to Buzzfeed News that this letter was indeed real. Hopkins addressed the email in an interview with HuffPost in 2016, saying he never meant for anyone to read the email, and was upset it had been shared publicly. The ensuing publicity put him off from writing similar letters in the future. He said: Cranston addressed the letter controversy soon after as well, saying he sent an attachment of the letter to the cast, and didn’t anticipate that someone else would share it. In this new age, I didn’t anticipate someone posting that. I didn’t anticipate that someone would then take the letter and show it to the world. It was an oversight of mine, so when it happened I thought, ‘Aw crap.’ Given that both actors have confirmed the existence of the letter, we rate this claim as True.
