“Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston said in a new video that he hopes 2021 will lead to people breaking their habit of “cancel culture.”
- “We live in this ‘cancel culture’ of people erring and doing wrong — either on purpose or by accident — and there’s less forgiveness in our world,” he said. “I think we’re unfortunately in a coarser environment. I think our societies have become harder and less understanding, less tolerant, less forgiving.”
Cranston said “cancel culture” creates a massive division between people depending on their behavior or one mistake. Someone can be rendered “gone” from some society for one mistake they made, he said.
Cranston said that more people need to practice forgiveness during these trying times, and not necessarily cancel others.
- “I think we need to take a second look at that and exhale and realize that asking forgiveness and receiving forgiveness are not weaknesses, but are human strengths,” Cranston said.
