RJ Mitte's tragic final days from fiancee celebration to poignant last interview

RJ Mitte's tragic final days from fiancee celebration to poignant last interview Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte was making plans for the future and promoting a new film just days before his shock suicide at the age of 34 Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte's suicide at the age of just 34 was a tragedy that fans didn't see coming. Just weeks before his shock death, the star had been talking about new film projects and his future plans. On Saturday, October 10, his fiancee Kennedy Suarez celebrated her 31st birthday, and their one-year engagement anniversary was coming up this Friday. But on Monday, it was announced that he'd died in heartbreaking circumstances. Bryan Cranston, who played his on-screen father Walter White, had been planning to meet him for lunch and admitted he was struggling to get his head around what happened. "I don't know if that lunch would have changed his future," he wrote on social media. "But I do know that I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on Breaking Bad dimmed." Co-star Matt Jones, who played Brandon 'Badger' Mayhew, told how he has been planning to meet up with RJ again to see his new home in Texas, but "bailed" because he was "tired", adding: "I'm so sorry." And earlier this month, RJ had been hanging out with his other Breaking Bad co-star, Luis Moncada, at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico. In a video shared on Instagram by Moncada, the pair seemed to be in high spirits with plenty of smiles and jokes on October 4. His final interview also gave few clues about what was to come. Indeed, the actor - who had cerebral palsy - talked about valuing life through ill-health and wanting to make the most of every second. "I live life to the fullest," he told The Joe Vulpis Podcast in an episode released on October 5, just a week before his death. "I always try. I have a very finite amount of time." Talking about his future, he said he wanted to "keep living the dream". "As long as my family is healthy and happy, I'm happy," he added. RJ - best known for playing Walter 'Flynn' White Jr in the hit series - looked to be happy and healthy when he made his last red carpet appearance on September 30 at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills, California, to attend a screening of his new movie, Talking to Strangers. The movie tells the tale of an introvert with cerebral palsy who strikes up an unexpected, life-changing friendship. Just four days before his death, he proudly gushed on facebook: "Had the pleasure of attending the LA premier for a film I made, Talking to Strangers The Movie, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. It's got a little love, some comedy, and maybe even some drama." Meanwhile, his relationship with Kennedy Suarez apepared to be moving forward - much to his delight. The couple were living together in Brownsville and had been dating for around five years before their engagement. She is yet to comment on his death. He proposed to Kennedy on October 10, 2025 - her 30th birthday - during the 56th annual Dia del Sol benefit in Carlsbad, California. Speaking to People after their engagement, RJ said at the time: "I'm thrilled to have found my person, my partner in life who makes me want to be better, no matter what we're doing. "Kennedy is my everything and I can't wait to officially start our life together and see what adventures life takes us on next." RJ was just three years old when he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and used his platform to become a disability rights advocate, working as a celebrity ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children's. "My hope is to inspire a 'never give up' mentality," he told Future of Personal Health. "If there is something you want in life, pursue it no matter how hard it may be. "Keep your dreams alive. Don't lose sight of who you want to become."
