Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, who dazzled in their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, have rejoined forces to enter Terra Incognita – the world of spirits. They've created their own mezcal brand, Dos Hombres, marking a transformative journey from their notorious meth-lab personas in the critically acclaimed series.
The Birth of Dos Hombres
Cranston and Paul plunged headfirst into this venture due to their mutual love for authenticity and quality. They founded Dos Hombres in 2019, and it quickly gained recognition among aficionados of the traditional Mexican spirit.
Recently, the duo was noticed at a Costco, handing out samples of Dos Hombres Mezcal, in an event captured on video by lifestyle brand Manofmany. The mezcal, distinctively handcrafted with agave Espadin in San Luis Del Rio, Oaxaca, holds tight to its birthplace's essence in each bottle.
Fandom Reactions
Fans reacted enthusiastically when they saw their beloved actors, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, engaged in a venture far removed from their on-screen roles, where their chemistry sparked a meth empire. Various comments passed about their new venture included observations like the “good ending” and “looks exactly what Heisenberg and Pinkman would do to clean their money”.
This reaction is understandable as Dos Hombres Mezcal, translating to ‘Two Men's Spirit' in Spanish, mirrors the camaraderie between Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's characters in Breaking Bad.
A Walk Down to Breaking Bad's Finale
The grim end of Jesse Pinkman and Walter White in Breaking Bad starkly contrasts the successful real-life partnership of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.
In the show's finale, Jesse Pinkman is held captive by a white supremacist group forcing him to cook meth until the unexpected arrival of Bryan Cranston's Walter White armed with a hidden M60 machine gun. This deadly standoff resolves when Walter activates the gun with his key, ending all captors as Jesse escapes.
The closing scene sees Walter White in his cherished meth lab, a stray bullet finds him amidst the gunfire. Walter realizes his fate and chooses to die amidst his treasured paraphernalia. Breaking Bad ends with the imagery of Walter's dead body splayed on the floor as the police arrive.
Seeing Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul venture into a business together outside the dark world depicted in Breaking Bad gives fans a sense of closure and a happy ending. They've swapped a fictional meth-lab empire for a real-world mezcal business, and fans are all in.
See for yourselves the charm of Dos Hombres Mezcal, and enjoy a sip of Breaking Bad stars' new passion project. If you feel left out of the Breaking Bad journey, it's still available for streaming on Netflix.
Breaking Bad may have ended, but Cranston and Paul's partnership continues to thrive, giving fans a taste of a different kind of chemistry. Cheers to their success and to the future of Dos Hombres Mezcal!
