Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston have been teasing something for weeks, which many fans assumed would be the highly rumored Breaking Bad movie – but, it turns out that the surprise collaboration is actually Mezcal.
Aaron revealed their collaboration on his Instagram on Tuesday (July 9).
“Three years ago we sat in a sushi bar in New York. Talking about life and what we could possibly do down the road together. We had the time of our lives while shooting Breaking Bad and truly built a very special bond. Knowing that we couldn’t share the screen for quite a while – our thoughts turned to a new project. We sipped cocktails and thought about what it should be. The younger one looked at his drink and said, you know what we should do? We should do a really special Mezcal,” he wrote.
Fans of Breaking Bad have poured out their frustrations on social media.
“The biggest troll in the history of trolls.Maybe ever,” one wrote.
“So that was it?! That’s what the hype was about? Nothing related to Breaking Bad?! DISAPPOINTED!” wrote another.
“My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined,” another fan added.
