From Breaking Bad to Black Mirror: A Look Back at Aaron Paul's Journey'

Aaron Paul has had an incredible career in Hollywood, with memorable roles in popular shows like Breaking Bad and Black Mirror. In a recent conversation with THR, the actor opened up about his experiences working on these iconic projects.

Paul revealed that he was initially hesitant to join Black Mirror, but ultimately became a huge fan of the show after it started airing in the U.K. He even made it known to Charlie Brooker that joining the universe would be a dream come true. 'He was very excited that I wanted to do 'USS Callister' as a sort of nod to any Breaking Bad fan,' Paul said.

In addition to his work on Black Mirror, Paul has also had the opportunity to reunite with his former Breaking Bad co-stars, including Bryan Cranston and Vince Gilligan. The trio recently collaborated on a PopCorners Super Bowl commercial, which saw season one-era Walt (Cranston) and Jesse (Paul) encounter their old foe, Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz).

When asked about the experience of working with his former Breaking Bad castmates again, Paul expressed his gratitude. 'And so I'm happy that he continued to think of me,' he said.

Paul also discussed his history with co-stars Jon Bernthal and Elisabeth Moss, before sharing his reaction to Cranston's recent retirement talk. Despite his previous assertion that Better Call Saul would serve as his farewell to Jesse Pinkman, Paul has now reunited with the Breaking Bad triumvirate for a new project.

The team behind PopCorners approached just Paul and Cranston initially, but eventually offered to take things a step further. 'They presented us with this idea, and they wanted it to look and feel like a little sliver of a Breaking Bad episode,' Paul explained.

For fans of the show, the commercial is a thrilling Easter egg that brings back memories of the iconic series. Paul revealed that once you get to know Charlie Brooker, you know that his word actually has weight to it.

In conclusion, Aaron Paul's journey from Breaking Bad to Black Mirror and beyond has been an incredible one. With memorable roles in popular shows and reunions with former co-stars, he has cemented his place as a talented actor in the entertainment industry.
