THE stars of award-winning TV show “Breaking Bad” were on hand early this week to donate memorabilia to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

    Among the items donated are the “Heisenberg” hat worn by chemistry teacher-turned-drug lord White (played by Bryan Cranston) and the yellow lab suits and gas masks worn by White and Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul).

    Cranston — who won four Emmys for the role — delighted photographers by donning the black porkpie hat for a few moments. “This was a remarkable journey. ‘Breaking Bad’ changed my life,” Cranston said.

    “I’m asked often, ‘Do you miss the show?’ The truth is I don’t, because Vince Gilligan and the writers created such a perfectly designed beginning, middle and end to this journey that (if we had done more,) it would almost ruin the experience you had.”

    Also in the stash of memorabilia — three bags of faux crystal meth, which are actually blue candy.

    “I’m the man who brought crystal meth to the National Museum,” joked Dwight Bowers, the museum’s entertainment curator.

    Cranston explained that there were two version of the yellow Tyvek lab suits, but added: “Neither of them breathe, so it’s like being in a sauna.”

    “Looking at them now brings back good memories. The experience is ephemeral, but the memories are forever,” he added.(SD-Agencies)
