By Oh for God's sake. Remember how exciting it was a few weeks back when Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, former DIY meth lab pals on Breaking Bad, appeared to be hinting that they were working together again on something?
Is the long-awaited Breaking Bad film tangentially related to a donkey perhaps? That was the image they posted on Instagram, anyway. We had a punt on what it might mean - are they drug mules? Were Cranston and Paul hosting a telethon in aid of donkey and mule charity The Brooke? Were they making a gritty Shrek reboot? - but it turns out we were completely wrong. They're in the celebrity bevs market now.
"Three years ago we sat in a sushi bar in New York," an absolute monster of a post on Bryan Cranston's Instagram began. "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."
It goes on in this vein for some time, sounding more and more like an ad for Suntory Time whisky Bob Harris might have turned down. Basically, Paul said 'Let's sell some Mezcal' so they went to a village near Oaxaca, found some, and now they're selling it.
"We named it Dos Hombres - two guys on a quest," the post continues. "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."
That's great. No, really, that's brilliant. Delighted for you. Do you know what the world would be happier than a nice Mezcal? Acting. The pair of you. In the same place. Possibly in a homebrew meth lab. Just spitballing here.
