Quarantined: Cranston said he spent time with his family during the pandemic: “I work a lot and usually don’t need to be at home. There is a significant portion of loneliness. And I am happiest with my family ‘(pictured August 2019)
“And at the end of the day, on deck, share a glass of wine with friends while watching the sunset on the horizon.”
The Malcolm in the Middle actor opened to People in December that he could spend some time at home with his family during the pandemic.
He said, ‘I work a lot and usually don’t have to be home for that. There is a significant portion of loneliness. And I am happiest with my family. ‘
Cranston was filming his new Showtime series Your Honor in New Orleans when lockdown occurred, and he later recovered from his own diagnosis with COVID-19.
