Bryan Cranston told James Corden to fetch him some coffee throughout the pair’s first meeting.
The “Breaking Bad” alum hilariously thought that the previous “Late Late Show” host was his waiter during an impromptu encounter in LA years ago.
Appearing on “Today with Hoda & Jenna,” the duo recalled their first interaction which Corden looked back on with humor.
“My story may be very emotional for me straight away. For my story is the primary time I ever met Bryan Cranston, which was an enormous moment in my life,” Corden shared.
“My wife and I had gone to — she was my girlfriend on the time — and we’d gone to Los Angeles for the primary time in our lives, and we’d spent all the morning watching season 2 of Breaking Bad.”
Corden said the pair decided to go out for some lunch after a morning of binge-watching the hit show.
“I am going for lunch and who walks within the restaurant but Bryan Cranston. To at the present time, I actually have never been as starstruck as I was in that moment,” Corden recalled.
But unfortunately for the Brit, the encounter was lower than special for Cranston.

“I went over, I said ‘Bryan…’” Corden recalled, before Cranston admitted, “After which I immediately say, ‘Could I actually have some more coffee, please?’”
Confirming the misunderstanding, the “Gavin & Stacey” alum continued, “That is totally true.”
He went on, “I said, ‘Bryan, you don’t know me, I’m an actor in the UK and I was watching the show this morning. Your performance is incredible.’ And he said ‘Thanks, can I get a Weight loss program Coke with no ice?’”

Corden appeared on the show to advertise his recent Sirius XM interview series, “This Lifetime of Mine with James Corden,” while Cranston has been promoting his latest film, “Argylle.”
Last yr, Cranston revealed he is planning to step away from acting in 2026.
The 67-year-old said he desires to “level out” his marriage with wife Robin Dearden, 70, to whom he’s been married since 1989.
Cranston desires to “change the paradigm” of their union, and in a desperate bid to achieve this, he might be shutting down his production company and selling his half of Dos Hombres, the mezcal company he co-founded with former co-star Aaron Paul.
