Viewers Are Laughing At How Better Call Saul Hid Bryan Cranston’s Hair As Walter White Returns

Spoiler warning for Better Call Saul season six, episode 11 below, tread lightly.

Better Call Saul is racing towards the finish line and fans have been delivered another treat of an episode in the form of the latest one, titled Breaking Bad.

Before the episode was released fans had been hoping they'd see the return of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) to our screens, especially as the episode description told us 'the partners escalate their enterprise to new levels'.

Luckily, Better Call Saul did not disappoint, giving us a wonderful episode which deftly jumped between the days of Breaking Bad and the show's main time where Saul (Bob Odenkirk) is in hiding working as a Cinnabon manager in Nebraska.

One of those flashbacks to Breaking Bad days featured the iconic scene where Walt and Jesse threaten Saul over a grave in the middle of the desert, and a new scene of them discussing how to work together.

One thing fans had been wondering was how Bryan Cranston was going to tackle going bald again to play Walter White, and the show's solution left viewers laughing all day long.

Last time Cranston stepped back into the role for a flashback in wrap-up movie El Camino, he wore a very noticeable bald cap that made him look a bit like Megamind.

Since making Cranston shave his head for a couple of scenes as Walter White seems a little extreme and the bald cap looked weird, the show decided to do the smart thing and just not show the top of his head.

Instead, Cranston just keeps wearing the balaclava his character wore in that scene all the way back in Breaking Bad, and if you'll pardon the pun hats off to them for just picking the easiest and most sensible option.

Viewers were overjoyed to see Walt and Jesse back on their screens, with one fan saying the flashbacks were 'great and very fitting to the story' and another hailing the 'grand return' of the Breaking Bad pair.

Others thought it was 'uncanny' how little Cranston had changed over the years, being able to slip effortlessly back into his role of Walter White.

The face and the voice are spot on, while covering up the hair with a hat is a funny but effective method.

That was a bit tougher for Aaron Paul, as he's now in his 40s trying to reprise a role he first played in his 20s and there was really no way he wasn't going to look and sound older.

Meanwhile, Cranston and Paul were honoured recently with bronze statues depicting their likenesses from Breaking Bad.
