Entertainment Tonight Canada caught up with actor Bryan Cranston regarding his role in the upcoming blockbuster, Godzilla, and through the wondrous power of YouTube and an eagle-eyed viewer we have the entire segment right here for you.

ET Correspondent Sangita Patel stormed the set of Godzilla to sit down with the cast and chat about bringing one of movie’s most feared monsters back to life. Fresh off his Golden Globe and Emmy-winning time on “Breaking Bad”, Bryan Cranston tells ET why he was more than happy to be a part of the reboot. “As a kid, Godzilla was you know, my creature of choice. I love the absolute destructive nature of this beast.”

Spilling secrets about the elusive film, Cranston likens the material to another film that also cast a monster from the deep as its lead antagonist. “They’re taking a very restrained approach to this, much like ‘Jaws’ did. Steven Spielberg didn’t always show the beast.” But never fear, the actor says, the film will still terrorize: “The essence is present and it’s there, and it’s moving and it’s creepy. So the tension will mount for sure.”

“I think he’s just one of the greatest actors I think I’ve worked with in a long time,” co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson says of his dream co-star Bryan Cranston. Meanwhile, actress Sally Hawkins shares her thoughts on why Godzilla might just be misunderstood. “He doesn’t know how to express himself except… [by] eating people,” the Golden Globe nominated actress tells ET, adding, “he just needs a candle and a massage.”

Monsters‘ Gareth Edwards directs the all-star cast including Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Johnson, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, Richard T. Jones, Sally Hawkins, Akira Takarada, Victor Rasuk, Yuki Morita, and C.J. Adams.

In theaters May 16, 2014, an epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

Making his first appearance in 1954 (Gojira). Godzilla is a giant monster that lives in the sea that comes from the ocean to feed on mankind.
