Actor Bryan Cranston revealed that he lost his virginity to an Austrian sex worker when he was just 16 years old.
The Breaking Bad star, 69, fondly recalled the details of his first sexual experience a few years back - explaining that it was equal parts 'exhilarating' and 'traumatic'.
He dished the dirt about his teenage liaison with a lady of the night during an appearance on the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast in 2023.
The host had barely finished introducing Cranston before he offered up the hilarious story, which is something most people in the public eye would prefer to keep a secret.

But the Golden Globe winner didn't make any bones about it and instead willingly offered O'Brien and Co all the gory details about how he popped his cherry.

"I was a virgin," Cranston, who has been married to actress Robin Dearden, 71, for the last 36 years, said. "I was travelling with a bunch of friends in Europe.
"I was 16 years old and it was the thing to do... I was actually looking forward to it! And [I was] nervous as hell, of course. I'm 16!"
Setting the scene, Cranston explained he and his pals were in the Austrian city of Salzburg, so decided to head to and check out its 'red light district'.

Each state in the landlocked country makes its own laws, but in Salzburg, sex work is only permitted in officially approved brothels, while there are also a host of stringent rules to follow too.
Although he had been feeling like Billy Big B******s while making his way to the brothel, Cranston admitted he started to 'get cold feet' when he saw his two pals waltz off with older women when they arrived.
Amid his panic, the Malcolm in the Middle actor decided to pretend that he didn't have enough money on him to pay for one of the women's services.
"I said, 'I don't think I brought enough money, I don't think I have enough to be able to make this transaction'," Cranston recalled. "I sat down in the foyer and then this woman came up to me."
He described her as being significantly maturer than him, although he said he couldn't hazard a guess at how old she actually was.

Although a teenage Cranston was trying to feign financial hardship, the woman didn't seem too bothered by his lack of funds and she continued to gesture towards his pockets.
The actor told how he then produced some of his cash to prove he didn't have enough - but much to his surprise, the woman seized the cash out of his hands and led him into a private room.
Sounds like a good way to score a discount, eh Cranston?
Anyway, he followed her into her boudoir - which was equipped with only a single bed, a sink and a small bin, according to the Los Angeles-born actor.

It's worth noting that O'Brien didn't find this story one bit sexy by this point, either.
Hilariously, the comedian remarked that his 'penis would be up inside his body' by that point, adding: "It would have retracted into my left lung."
Still, Cranston continued to spill his guts about his first night of passion, going on to describe how the woman indicated that he should take his clothes of.
If it wasn't evident already, they were finding the language barrier tricky to navigate, so they opted to communicate via hand signals instead.
"I was so nervous that I didn't really feel anything," Cranston said of his first time. "I was just... my brain was on fire.

"At one point, I thought, 'Oh, I should touch her breasts'. And I was like, which one shall I touch?
"So I just touched one of her breasts and all of a sudden, I just felt her hand slap mine. She just slapped my hand to take my hand off her breasts!"
Summing up his first ever sexual experience in Austria, Cranston said: "It was a traumatic and a great, exhilarating, memorable experience."
"It's a seminal moment in a person's life, when they lose their virginity," he said, before jokingly adding: "I've been going back to Austria ever since!"
