Bryan Cranston almost turned down 'Godzilla' role

Actor Bryan Cranston says he is excited to be part of the new 'Godzilla' film, but almost turned down the role because he was still working on 'Breaking Bad'.
Cranston, 58, said he was worried that people might compare the two roles, reported CBS online.
"Oh, that's not anywhere near as good as 'Breaking Bad.' I didn't want to have that conversation," the actor said.
Cranston, who is currently up for a Tony Award for playing President Lyndon B Johnson in the Broadway play 'All the Way', said he read the 'Godzilla' script at his agent's urging and that's what changed his mind.

"I was surprised by what I read. I didn't anticipate that," Cranston said, adding he loved watching 'Godzilla' films while growing up.
In this latest Hollywood adaptation, Cranston plays a nuclear scientist who becomes obsessed with what caused the destruction of a nuclear power plant in 1999.
'Godzilla' is now playing in theatres.
