Bryan Cranston Acted His Way Through This Grueling Hot Wing Challenge

James Franco and Bryan Cranston are two of Hollywood’s most prolific actors, and they did a damn good job of acting like these hot wings weren’t destroying them inside.
Taking First We Feast’s Hot Ones challenge, Franco and Cranston went through five fiery chicken wings, each hotter than the next, but kept their cool despite having to take big swigs of milk the whole time.

Franco looked to be in trouble after the first wing, which was covered in nothing more than your run-of-the-mill Sriracha hot sauce, but he somehow made it through all the way.

Cranston was as smooth as the great Heisenberg, showing very little discomfort throughout the contest.

The two stars talked about a variety of subjects, from boyfriends trying to win over a girlfriend’s father (Like in their movie “Why Him”), to working in the restaurant industry.

You know these two are great actors when they can eat wings that are 550,000 Scoville heat units and barely break a sweat.
