During the interview with GQ, Bryan Cranston elaborated even more about the goals he had for the look and aesthetic of Walter White on “Breaking Bad.” He wanted Walter to wear clothes that would give off the impression that he was someone not worth seeing. He collaborated with the costume designers to ensure this by picking a very distinct color scheme.
“I chose my clothes,” Cranston said. “In conversations with the costume designer to select clothes that blend in the wall. Beiges. Off-whites. Pastels. Soft yellows. Things like that. Sand color. He disappeared, he was a nobody. I took all the color highlights out of my hair. Which I had, it was kinda brown with reddish highlights. Took it all out, just deadened it. Took the color out of my face. All of a sudden you start to see yourself and you put on those clothes and you go, ‘I know you. Let’s go play.'”
Cranston clearly put a ton of thought into Walter and how he should present himself on screen, and it obviously paid off big time for the actor and for “Breaking Bad” as a whole. It’s also interesting to see how his wardrobe shifts as the series goes on, reflecting the changes in the character as he inhabits his Heisenberg alter ego more fully.
