Working together on Breaking Dad
While promoting the first series of the show, which came out in 2019, Bradley explained on This Morning that not only are they friends but that he is also directed by his son!
He said: "He has always been my son, and you always take care of them. But then all of a sudden he becomes your equal and a work colleague, and a mate, and someone you respect. Now I look up to him. Barney, bless him, was directing me on some of the things 'Dad don't worry about this, you need to be thinking about this', and actually producing me."

Barney has also spoken about how much he values their time making the TV show together, and told his dad during an episode: "You’re my dad, but you're also my best mate, and when we do stuff like this, it solidifies it. We have so much fun together, Dad. All the adventures."

Have Barney and Bradley ever fallen out?
Fortunately, it appears that the dad and son haven't had any tiffs despite spending plenty of time together. They were quizzed about it during a chat on This Morning, where Barney explained that he thought he might have pushed his dad too far while taking part in astronaut training. He said: "It actually made us ill for a couple of days, didn't it? It actually made us ill." When asked if they fell out during filming, Bradley added: "Only out of a plane!"

Here’s The Kid, The Clown and The Cockney!"
