They applied queen bee pheromones all over his body and insect repellent on his face to keep the bees away from it, which means someone on that production sat down and carefully planned out how to cover a human being in 60,000 live bees as safely as possible. That person deserves an Emmy too.

The alternative is he’s a man in a crotchless bee suit which is very funny but also not ideal

A local brewery makes a porter called Velvet Merkin. It'd be great to see a honey blonde version. I think you came up with the perfect name for it.

To be fair, it's a trick that people have been doing at carnivals and other attractions for a long time.

verrius Apr 10, 2026 +42
The repellent on his face was probably more about keeping him recognizable and getting the shot than keeping him safe. That said...he was still wearing thick jeans, that they didn't smear the pheromone onto, so I think most people would assume he'd be fine there.
42
ActionFigureCollects Apr 10, 2026 +10
To be fair, jeans aren't really thick at all. Maybe when compared with cotton slacks, yes. But leathers provide proper protection. And when one switches from leather back to jeans or cotton, you definitely feel very naked and vulnerable. Sorry about your balls, BC.

I've had swarming bees fly into my pockets

caligaris_cabinet Apr 10, 2026 +10
Sounds like a solid plan to get the bees to stay on without stinging but I’m now more interested in how they got the 60,000 bees to get off him as safely as possible.

HollowDanO Apr 10, 2026 +4
A small hop will knock them off usually and small vacuums get the stragglers. Or put a queen somewhere else so they go there instead.

Shoulda covered his balls as well

As I recall, the writers kept coming up with crazier and crazier stuff trying to see what he would say no to. Eventually they realized he wasn't ever going to say no, so they tried to come up with things he wasn't capable of doing instead, which is how we got the roller skating episode. Apparently he learned to skate specifically for that episode.

As I recall the script he complained about was a joke one they made about Frank getting sent to prison and repeatedly getting raped by Aryans.

CardboardWiz Apr 10, 2026 +108
It also wasn’t a real script. They sent him this as an April Fools joke.

Cranston wanted to do all the elaborate roller-skate stunts, but the writers and producers ended up saying no to him.
22
Morvack Apr 10, 2026 +39
Indeed. In fact he only had a stunt double for 1 or 2 shots through that entire skating sequence. Specifically during the flip(s). He is really a strong method actor. On Breaking Bad, he was actually taught by real DEA scientists how to make meth at a high level.

Nope. He knew how to skate already. The stunts are done by a professional skater. He just said that in a new interview.

JefferyTheQuaxly Apr 10, 2026 +65
during the original series, the writers allegedly had a game they would play, "what would bryan do" where they tried to come up with crazy stunts to write into the script they thought bryan cranston would agree to. Eventually they changed their game to "what wouldnt bryan do" because he would literally agree to basically any stunt they proposed. He did i think all of his own stunts himself.

FallOutShelterBoy Apr 10, 2026 +14
He got his start working on Power Rangers so it’s not too surprising he’d do whatever. If you told Haim Saban “no” he’d probably fire you on the spot

I said the same thing when it almost happened to me once. It was a wasp, not a bee, but a yellow jacket hit me in the neck when I was riding my motorcycle. It fell down my chest under my shirt and jacket, stung me in the torso three times on the way down and fortunately lost its stinger on the third sting because I later found its body in my underwear.

It was so small that the hornet couldn’t find it

NativeMasshole Apr 10, 2026 +8
Nope! That giant f***** flew right in my window while I was driving, landed on my crotch and immediately started trying to sting. Thanks to some tenting action and a tiny d***, it couldn't find any flesh through my pants. I whipped off the road and dove out of my car, almost into the car behind me. Swatted that hornet to the ground with a backhand and stomped it out.
8
caligaris_cabinet Apr 10, 2026 +5
My dumbass would try to smack it, miss, hit myself in the balls, crash the car, lay there dying inside my wreck of a car in agony before the wasp comes back to sting my scrotum and fly away with a smug look and a story to tell his wasp friends.

DefiantDonut7 Apr 10, 2026 +10
The crazy thing is, when you have this many bees on you, you really have to remain calm. If you jump out of surprise, the single sting on your sack, will be the least of your worries.

I hope he got a payment per sting clause in his contract like Tony Todd did in Candy Man.

When I was like 5 I threw a rock at a wasp nest and it fell at my feet. Several flew up under my shorts and stung me several times on my thighs and arms.  Thankfully I did not get a scrotum sting.

PointlessTrivia Apr 10, 2026 +1
Fun fact: After Penn Jillette (from Penn and Teller) was stung 24 times by bees during a magic trick, the skin on his scrotum fell off. The skin falling off convinced his doctor that he'd been secretly doing meth.
1
reeshardb Apr 10, 2026 +1
For doing that he deserved to get stung in the balls. I hope they stung his pecker too. The idiot. Don’t get me wrong, I love Brian Cranston. But come on… If you dance with the bull, you’re gonna get the horns… Or the stinger.
