Bryan Cranston thinks it's time we all were allowed to be mad as hell – even in public.

The Breaking Bad star, currently starring as a very angry man in the play Network on Broadway, thinks that we could all benefit from allowing ourselves to get angry.

Talking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, Cranston explained why we need to normalise anger in order for social change to happen.

"True anger displayed socially is not acceptable," Cranston said. "When you get mad, perhaps when you see injustice [...] you don't want to be tolerant, you don't want to be accepting. You want to say: 'No. This makes me angry.'"

Well said.
