Godzilla hit London today as the cast of Gareth Edwards' epic opened up on the movie in a press conference, with Aaron Taylor Johnson and Bryan Cranston revealing just how easy it was to act out their father/son roles.
EntertainmentWise headed down to meet the stars of the reboot of the classic Japanese monster tale which also stars the gorgeous Elizabeth Olsen as Aaron's onscreen wife.
While Elizabeth has admitted playing Aaron's sister in the forthcoming Avengers movie made her Godzilla relationship with the actor more "playful" than romantic, Bryan says he and Aaron also enjoyed a fun friendship on set.
"I'm a father, he's a father too so it's easy", the Breaking Bad star says of playing a dad on screen.

"When you sign on to do a piece like this you really are looking at the material, you talk to the director, you agree to it and then you hope that when you get on the set you make a connection. It's not imperative that you do but the fact that we got along and like each other make it easier to meld into that realtionship".
Aaron does point out though that the characters don't have the easiest of relationships: "We have this feud, and I'm supposed to be angry at him all the time although he'd be cracking jokes a lot, so you can't really stay angry at Bryan", laughed the dad of two.
"He acted like my son", adds Bryan. "He rolled his eyes, there was general disrespect for the elderly!"
