Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul have revived their characters from Breaking Bad for a Super Bowl commercial for popcorn chips.
The pair are recreating one of the series’ most famous scenes in Walt and Jesse’s RV meth lab, from the season-two episode ‘4 Days Out’.
Speaking about reviving his character, Cranston said, “I went back as Walter White in the series Better Call Saul because it was appropriate, and I thought it would be fun to go back and see all the people and to wear those shoes and those glasses and the bald cap again.
“I was like, ‘yeah, I’ll do that.’ And then now we have a Super Bowl commercial for PopCorners….
“You know, in shooting a drama like that you don’t have a lot of opportunities just to have fun. And to be able to get back together with Aaron and Vince [Gilligan creator] and the whole crew from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul to make this commercial was so much fun to do.”
“Instead of crystal meth, we’re baking these PopCorners [in the RV], and you know – it’s a very tasty snack,” he said, no doubt laughing all the way to the bank.

At least Walter didn’t loose his temper and there was no pizza involved or a fly.
Ugh – are they that desperate for money they are stopping to this?
They don’t own the characters – Vince Gilligan created them. Surely he didn’t sign off on this?!?
Story indicates he was involved.
Tacky.
