Bryan Cranston can do a mean impression of his Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul's character, Jesse Pinkman.
As a participant in a casual game of "First Impressions," Cranston proved he was a worthy competitor when he sat down with LADBible and faced off against his Argyle co-star Sam Rockwell.
In a Freaky Friday-inspired twist, Breaking Bad fans got to see Cranston switching characters to verbalize a familiar Jesse Pinkman greeting.
Cranston, who played Walter White in the epic AMC crime drama, read the game card with the name of his Breaking Bad costar he was instructed to impersonate and said:
"This is gonna be very hard, actually."
"Yo, b*tch," said Cranston in his best Aaron Paul voice.
While he was spot on to viewers, it wasn't enough for Rockwell to guess who Cranston was impersonating on the first go, as he thought Cranston was imitating comedian Andrew Dice Clay.
In all fairness, Clay's signature SoCal drawl and Paul's gruff manner of speech as Jesse are not that dissimilar.
Cranston gave another clue, one that specifically referred to his own Breaking Bad character, and this time he physically laid into his delivery a bit more, stating:
"Yo, Mr. White. B*tch."
To which Rockwell immediately lit up and shouted, "Aaron Paul!"
"Yes, yeah. Very good," Cranston approved.
You can watch Cranston mouthing Jesse Pinkman catchphrases until Rockwell gets it right in this TikTok clip.
@lad Bryan Cranston's Aaron Paul impression 😂😂 #bryancranston #aaronpaul #breakingbad #walterwhite #argyllemovie #impressions
However, when it came to impersonating Barbie star Margot Robbie, Cranston demonstrated there was room for improvement.
He gave the cheeriest pageant smile he could muster and flashed his pearly whites, as Barbie does, while greeting imaginary guests in the room with "good morning. It's a beautiful day."
It fell flat.
Rockwell grasped at straws and landed on "Bryan Cranston."
It wasn't until Cranston spelled it out for him by saying "Hi, Ken," that Rockwell got it.
"Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, Barbie...uh, Margot Robbie," guessed the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Oscar winner.
It took a while, but he eventually got there.
@lad Breaking Barbie 😂 Bryan Cranston's Margot Robbie impression is... slightly terrifying 🩷 #bryancranston #margotrobbie #barbiemovie #argyllemovie #impression #samrockwell #funny #celebrity
Nevertheless, fans were impressed by Cranston's versatility.
Cranston and Rockwell star in the ensemble cast of the spy action comedy film Argyle, which is currently in theaters.
