Hikers have hilarious reaction after realizing they've just walked past Bryan Cranston

The Breaking Bad star even said hello to the unsuspecting walkers

A pair of hikers truly embodied the definition of 'fangirling' after realizing they'd walked straight past Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston.

Though celebrities really are just people like the rest of us, for some reason we just can't help but turn into nervous wrecks around them.

It could be anyone from a local hero to a real A-lister - if their name is somewhat recognizable, we forget how to talk, act, and generally be a normal human.

So I have to say, the two walkers in this situation actually managed to play it pretty cool when they suddenly found themselves face-to-face with Cranston - it was when his back was turned that they allowed themselves to become completely starstruck.

The unexpected encounter took place in a canyon in Los Angeles, where Cranston had joined comedian and YouTuber Kevin Nealon for a walk during which they discussed Breaking Bad, Cranston's liquor brand Dos Amigos and his other ongoing projects.

Cranston was deep in conversation with Nealon when they passed the two younger walkers, but the actor still took the time to say hello as he called out, 'hey kids'.

The video didn't catch the two walkers responding to Cranston at the time, suggesting they either didn't realize who had just spoken to them, or were too stunned to reply.

Either way, they kept walking in the opposite direction to Cranston and Nealon - but this also happened to be the direction the camera was facing.

After walking past Cranston, the pair turned, stared and pointed, clearly knowing they'd just experienced a very rare moment.

Just imagine - you decide to head out for a walk, allowing yourself to get away from screens and be at one with nature, when you're suddenly staring at Walter White from Breaking Bad and Hal from Malcom in the Middle in the flesh.

Viewers can't get enough of the reaction from the young walkers, with one person writing: "I love the people turning and looking back! "OH MY GOD, It's Bryan Cranston!""

Another commented: "Imagine walking along and you see an episode of Hiking With Nealon being recorded with Bryan Cranston!? Damn."

"I loved how Bryan greeted people on the trail. He truly seems like a nice person," wrote a third.

It's probably not something the walkers had on their bingo cards when they set off on their walk, but it definitely gave them a good story to tell!
