They became firm friends on the set of Breaking Bad.

And now Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul have delighted fans by reuniting in the most unlikely of places. 

The pals starred in the AMC crime drama series for 11 years until 2019, with Cranston playing high-school chemistry teacher Walter White, who partners with former student Jesse Pinkman (Paul) in a scheme to produce and distribute methamphetamine to secure his family’s financial future before he succumbs to his lung cancer diagnosis.

And while you’d expect Cranston, 68, and Paul, 45, to meet back up on the set of a sequel to the show – such as the highly successful spin-off, Better Call Saul – the duo were actually spotted trying their hand at… DJing. 

That’s right – during a set at Las Vegas’s Encore Beach Club by music producer Mau P, the pair also tried their hand behind the decks.

Sharing footage of the random encounter to his 140.5k TikTok followers, Mau – real name Maurits Jan Westveen – joked, “Breaking Bad at the club is crazy.” He added, “Heisenberg got jokes for real.” 

The footage has been viewed a staggering 1.7 million times, and has racked up 55.8k likes. 

Fans were delighted by the exchange. One commented, “He actually nailed the scratch”, while another added, “W.W. Is cooking something else.” 

A third laughed, “That was the most unexpected collab I could ever have asked for but I’m here for it.” 

Other followers could barely believe their eyes, as someone said, “For a moment I thought it was AI.” 

The encounter also boosted Mau P’s ‘cool points’, as one fan wrote, “I would die happy if Bryan Cranston wheeled back my track.” “I like how Mau P just gets cooler everyday,” said another. 

Twitter/X goes wild for the video

It wasn’t just TikTokers who had the pleasure of judging Cranston and Paul’s musical abilities.

The video also made its way onto Twitter/X, where fans went equally as wild for their friendship…
