WE ALL know and love him as Walter “Flynn” White Jr, the son of self trained criminal Walter White in Breaking Bad, and now RJ Mitte has made his catwalk debut for Vivienne Westwood in Milan.

Looking every bit the male model, Mitte shows off his modelling strut, wearing a classic Westwood style outfit consisting of a paint splattered navy tracksuit, white Birkenstocks with an interesting looking female breast emblazoned bag draped around his neck.

The 22-year-old actor has mild cerebral palsy both in real life and on the show, and since then has used his celebrity power to campaign for disability charities including I AM PWD, which aims to get more inclusion of people with disabilities in the arts and media.

“People with disabilities can grow up thinking they have a weakness because they are told: ‘You will never do this properly, you will never walk properly or talk properly.’ That’s all they hear. But you have to look past that,” Mitte told The Guardian.

It looks as though he’s definitely succeeded in doing that for himself.
