'Breaking Bad' star 'nervous about Emmys'

Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston has admitted that he is nervous about the forthcoming Primetime Emmy Awards.

He confessed to Deadline that he was not convinced that he would win a third consecutive Emmy for his role as Walter White on the AMC drama.

"It's a possibility that I can hardly grasp," he said. "And all I can think is, if I win again, that I don't get up there and say something stupid that I'll need to apologize for later."

He revealed that he had not written an acceptance speech for the ceremony.

"You don't want to be presumptuous and have a speech all written, but by the same token you want to keep something in your head you might like to say so you're not caught flat-footed."

He added: "No one wants to see somebody get up there and fumble around. That's charming for the first second and a half, then it's grating and irritating. I have no recollection what I said up there either time I won."

The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards will air August 29 on NBC.
