In the words of Jesse Pinkman, yeah science, friend! Okay, we may have taken some liberties there, but it's no stretch to say that "Breaking Bad" co-stars Bryan Cranston, who played science teacher turned drug kingpin Walter White, and Aaron Paul, who played White's former student and future business partner Jesse, formed a tight bond that has continued after White's death. (Is he dead? Is he not? That's a whole different discussion.)
During the filming of "Breaking Bad," Cranston and Paul became award show darlings, consistently thanking each other when picking up Emmys, including three consecutive wins for Cranston. In 2013, Paul paid homage to his co-star when Cranston was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "I couldn't be more proud of the man," wrote Paul on his Instagram. "Thanks for teaching me so much my friend."
After the series ended, the pair continued their friendship and launched a much more above board partnership compared to their on-screen characters by unveiling the Dos Hombres mezcal brand together in 2019.
Speaking to People in 2020, Cranston said he and Paul quickly connected on set. "The storylines gave us opportunities to bond," he said. "And I was attracted to his character as a human being, which is really sound and remarkable. He's a really good person."
