During a recent appearance on “Hot Ones Versus” opposite Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston defended his “Breaking Bad” wife, Skyler White, played by Anna Gunn, who was vilified by fans of the Vince Gilligan drama for getting in the way of Walter White’s criminal antics.

Cranston was prompted to justify Skyler’s behavior after Muiz declared he “loved ‘Breaking Bad’” but “hated Skyler.” He said that “all she did was complain” and thought Walter’s life would’ve been “so much easier” without her.
