Bryan Cranston reveals personal connection to new Alzheimer’s movie
Bryan Cranston says his mother’s experience with Alzheimer’s helped him understand and portray a husband caring for his wife in the animated film “Tangles”. He described the personal connection as especially poignant, and said the film shows a range of emotions and family experiences rather than focusing only on despair.
Cranston, 70, voices the husband alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Abbi Jacobson, Samira Wiley and Beanie Feldstein. He said Alzheimer’s can progress unpredictably and that caring for his mother, Peggy Sell, changed their relationship: earlier tensions gave way to simple acts of companionship. Cranston has also encouraged people to support efforts to find a cure.
In short
- Cranston drew on his mother’s Alzheimer’s experience for “Tangles”.
