The Breaking Bad star heard about his biggest fan’s request to meet him after an online campaign took off. BuzzFeed News spoke to the fan to hear his story.
Meet Brad Joyner, a 19-year-old teenager from North Carolina who graduated from high school last year. Tragically, in March he discovered he had terminal brain cancer.
Joyner was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer that required radiation treatment and a year of chemotherapy. Although survival rates vary, the median period of survival is about 14.6 months.
Joyner told BuzzFeed News: "This cancer is nasty with a low rate of survival. But I have a strong faith and wanted to really live. So my mom and I made a 'living list'. Some things on the list were simple: Riding in a train. Being on my favorite radio station."
Although Joyner had many things on his list, the three biggest – and perhaps most difficult to achieve – were:
* To swim with sharks.
* To drive a 1967 Shelby Mustang.
* To meet Bryan Cranston, the star of his favourite show, Breaking Bad.
