Jesse Pinkman is Walter White’s protégé on “Breaking Bad,” and that rings true in real life, as well. With more than two decades on Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston had a whole lot of acting experience under his belt. Maybe that’s why he enjoyed pranking his younger co-star by making him think Jesse was going to get killed off, according to Time. On one occasion, Cranston even tricked Paul into thinking he needed to do a coffin fitting! Thankfully for all of us, Jesse lived to wreak havoc another day.
But Cranston and Paul’s on-set antics translated into a friendship when the cameras stopped rolling, too. Paul has been on hand to stand by Cranston’s side for several big moments, including when Cranston received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013. “Television would not be the same without this man. But I’m here to tell you all that I, personally, would not be the same without this man,” Paul said, as part of his moving tribute. It turns out Paul is a regular Cranston fanboy on Instagram, as well. And Cranston still embraces jokes as the standard in his relationship with Paul. When the actor parodied MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16” to celebrate his 60th birthday on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Paul crashed the party … dressed in an identical outfit to Cranston.
