Bryan Cranston to be godfather of ‘Breaking Bad’ co-star Aaron Paul's newborn son

American actor Aaron Paul recently announced the birth of his second child, a baby boy, with his wife Lauren Paul. The couple has named their son Ryden.

While announcing his son’s name, Paul also revealed that his co-star Bryan Cranston will be godfather to his newborn son Ryden.

On Tuesday, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Paul was asked if Cranston had met his son yet. He replied, “He has met the baby. I asked Bryan on his birthday if he would be our baby’s godfather.”

After joking that Cranston rejected the offer, he added: “No, he’s very excited, very honoured. I love that man to death. He’s one of my best friends in the world so it was a no-brainer.”

Cranston and Paul have reprised their Breaking Bad roles, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, for the sixth and final season of the show’s spin-off series Better Call Saul. The first two episodes premiered earlier this month in the US.

On Wednesday, both Paul and Lauren introduced their baby to their Instagram fans and revealed his full name.
