www.gq.com The Dirt On Aaron Paul by Daniel Riley Chances are good that if you got a first-taste-is-free bump of Breaking Bad sometime in the past four years, the days subsequent sorta blended into a sunlight-free marathon—not unlike one of Jesse Pinkman's parties. After all, the effect of BB, entering the first half of its final season Sunday, is one of, well, addictive intensity. And at its split-lip, manipulated core is Aaron Paul, who plays meth dealer Pinkman. In late May, when Paul and I find the best place at his midtown Manhattan hotel to grab beers, he's still riding high from the episode they've just wrapped. He can't stop talking about it—if in a vague, un-spoilery way. He's in town for this fashion shoot, and an hour before we're scheduled to meet, I swing by GQ HQ to re-watch some AP scenes. It's a Saturday, lotsa empty cubes, no one around. In my office, I find a few Jesse Pinkman gems—his quavering invective against his Narcotics Anonymous group, stretches from the episode in season two where he babysits the son of a meth-sizzled couple. Some real spew-hurling, not-low-volume monologues. When the first clip ends, I hear something ghostly—the same voice on the other side of the wall. Paul, it turns out, is in the office, getting fitted for the shoot. I wonder if he can hear himself as clearly through the wall as I can hear him. I also wonder if I should head into the fashion closet, shake his hand, and say "Yo." (Get it? That'd sure win some points, huh?) Then we could, what—suspend our conversation until the designated hour? Or maybe stroll through Times Square and hope he's not distracted by the Ferris wheel in Toys 'R' Us? I get the hell out of there instead, meet him at the hotel later, say hello in the least nobbish manner possible, and dig in on the topic he so clearly, almost brimmingly, wants to hit. We're scheduled to sit for thirty minutes and grab burgers, or something. But the burger place is filled with Swedes with fanny packs, and too loud anyway, so we head to the bar. A couple hours later, when Paul fights me over the tab, I chalk up the willingness of AP to go several rounds on a sunny spring afternoon to the fact that I lead not with "Yo" in the office, but with something he actually wants to talk about, and over beers, too: GQ: So you just finished filming episode— Aaron Paul: Five. GQ: Oh man, you're jamming. Aaron Paul: Flying. Eight days per episode. Except this last one. Very intense, big, big, big episode. GQ: How do they roll the scripts out to you guys? On first read is it always: "Holy shit. Look at this"? Aaron Paul: Oh yeah. We're only given one script at a time, so I'm always just dying to read the next episode. But now that we can see the finish line, it's bittersweet. I'm happy they're not going to stretch out the storyline, but it's also very sad that, you know, I'll never play Jesse Pinkman again. GQ: So, you guys are splitting the final season into two halves, eight and eight—and you're taking a little break after you wrap the first eight. Aaron Paul: Yeah, we take a four-month break. And then we shoot a final eight episodes which will air sometime in 2013. GQ: What are you getting, by the way? Twelve-dollar beer? Aaron Paul: Maybe a $12 beer. Jeez. You know what? I'm going to do a $9 beer. I'm going to get an Amstel Light. GQ: You're rolling out some small films this summer, but you must be lining up all sorts of work. Aaron Paul: You'd think so, right? I have no idea. I just roll with it. It's strange that I'm going to be unemployed very soon. GQ: That's sort of hard to imagine, that you don't have scripts stacked ceiling-high on your bedside table. Aaron Paul: Yeah, it's kind of hard for me to swallow. When I first started, I just wanted to work. I wouldn't necessarily do anything, but I'd pretty much almost do anything at the very beginning. And then the more I started to work, the pickier I became, and now with this show that I'm working on now, it's just—it's hard to say yes to projects. Breaking Bad, I've never been more proud. GQ: That's gotta be a big difference between maybe some of the other young actors working right now, that they know what they're doing is something that they're going to outgrow. Whereas this... I mean, in the media machine, which is not nothing, Breaking Bad seems to have made a case for top TV billing. Aaron Paul: We've gotten so much love. It's totally insane. Some people call this the best show that has ever existed. And then when people compare our show to The Wire—I mean, that just says it all. GQ: It seemed like everyone I know sort of binged to catch up on Breaking Bad over the last year or two, and watched the whole series in one go. Do you hear from fans that they're watching the show that way? Aaron Paul: All the time. People have come up to me saying, "I've watched all four seasons in four days." And I'm like, "Well, that's impossible." But people assure me they really do it. GQ: How do Vince [Gilligan, creator] and the writers feel about that? Aaron Paul: They're proud, but it also puts a lot of pressure on them, because they want to keep producing that kind of quality.

^ Calibi's post about the The Great Gatsby soundtrack is an example of a marginally acceptable post for this thread. Yes, Leo is in this movie, but is he the FOCUS of this post? No, it is Lana Del Rey. This is Leo's thread. Please be sure that the content/images posted are primarily about him.
