Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul’s Mystery Project Isn’t What You Think…

After months of teasing, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul finally unveiled their mystery project; and, in what feels like a gut punch, it has nothing to do with Breaking Bad. Instead, according to The Wrap, the pair formerly known as Walt & Jessie joined forces to craft … a new artisanal Mezcal and launch a new liquor brand aptly known as Dos Hombres.

Cranston revealed how the project came about, stating in an Instagram post: “We started traveling to Oaxaca to see if we could find it, and we mean it had to be ‘it,’ something so damn good even people who don’t think they like Mezcal will love it. It had to be perfect or we weren’t going to do it. We are crazy about the taste, the aroma, and the versatility of this smokey, age-old alcohol. Try it, and let us know what you think. We are certain you will love it.”

While it’s certainly cool to see the Breaking Bad co-stars hanging out in real life, and making a new liquor at that, there’s certainly a bait-and-switch feeling after all of the speculation — which was certainly by design.

Here’s to hoping that Vince Gilligan’s mysterious “Breaking Bad movie” isn’t really an advertisement for some form of new vodka.

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. The older one said, you mean the liquor with a worm at the bottom? Nah, that was just some bullshit gimmick, I mean real, artesanal Mezcal made by hand in Mexico. After that dinner we couldn’t get the idea out of our heads. So, we started traveling to Oaxaca to see if we could find it, and we mean it had to be “it,” something so damn good even people who don’t think they like Mezcal will love it. It had to be perfect or we weren’t going to do it. We searched high and low all over Oaxaca, met incredible people along the way and after a beautiful yet grueling search throughout that majestic landscape we believed we may have found our place. Our Mezcal. It was on a dirt-road, in tiny village, hours away from the center of town, we found it and it was perfect. Holy shit it was perfect. We looked at each other and just simply nodded. This is it. We named it Dos Hombres – two guys on a quest. It’s been a long and crazy journey and we couldn’t be happier to share this with you and the rest of the world. We are crazy about the taste, the aroma, and the versatility of this smokey, age-old alcohol. Try it, and let us know what you think. We are certain you will love it. Well, that’s our story.
