AceShowbiz - Bryan Cranston brings magic to Zendaya Coleman's "Neverland" music video. The "Breaking Bad" alum makes a cameo as a mysterious man who helps the Disney star break into an abandoned theater in the visuals released online on Monday, January 25.
The clip starts with Zendaya trying to get into a locked theater late at night "to let some stuff out" when Cranston appears in a dapper suit and magically unlocks the door. She walks onto the empty stage and begins singing the song alone before some dancers including pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy show up out of nowhere.
After finishing the song, Zendaya finds herself standing on the stage alone again. However, Cranston's character is now sitting in the front row and giving the 19-year-old some words of wisdom. "They say that in order to succeed in this business, you need a hook," he says before disappearing.
Zendaya's "Neverland" is lifted off 2015's "Finding Neverland: The Album" which accompanies the Broadway production of "Finding Neverland". The music video was directed by Brad Furman and choreographed by Chmerkovskiy and Ian Eastwood.
"I am so excited to tell the story of Neverland through my own lens," says Zendaya. "It was an honor to act alongside Bryan Cranston, and so great to reunite with Maks and Ian, who both helped bring a cool and edgier vibe to the video through their choreography. I hope my fans are as inspired by Neverland as I was inspired by Finding Neverland on Broadway."
