Better Call Saul: Breaking Bad Prequel

Saw an interview with Aaron Paul, Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad. He said he hopes his Jesse character is a part of the "Better Call Saul" spinoff. 

He also said it's a PREquel, this show will take place BEFORE all of Breaking Bad in the space-time continuum. 

No offense, Aaron/Jesse, but if you want to be a part of a BB pre-quel, you should probably actually start smoking meth or no one will NEVER buy it. You don't really look like much like pre-Heisenberg Jesse. 

Here is a side-by-side comparison of Jesse from Season 1, then Season 5. 

Right? Season 5 Jesse's face won't even FIT in the window.

Again, no offense. He's a totally handsome guy. New manly facial hair aside, Season 5 Jesse looks like he ATE Season 1 Jesse when he had a case of pot munchies. 

Incidentally, let's take a minute to observe a meth head over the course of 5 years. 

This was a person who was already doing so much meth when the show started that he was making it, "Chili P that's my signature, yo"
That's how Walt got the whole idea to make meth to finance his cancer battle, and then FIVE YEARS later? 

We get the 2nd picture:
Admittedly failed relationships BUT 
Perfectly white teeth
Manly shiny facial hair
Putting on plenty of weight

You guys I don't think meth is as bad as they say. Don't believe the hype!

p.s. A preview is rumored to have been "leaked" here's the YouTube video:

Okay, yes this is totally fake, but the show is NOT, and it made me laugh to think of Betty White as his mother.

    1. You guys crack me up with the "First Comment!" It reminds me of when my brothers would yell "Shotgun!" Well actually, my older brother would just laugh and take it anyway, but my YOUNGER brother would report to the back of the van when it was just the 2 of us. Anyhoo, it's a great show but it IS incredibly violent. Not HBO gratuitous violent, but still it's about a man forced to make and sell meth, so it has that whole "nothing to lose" flavor. I really enjoyed it, it always had interesting camera angles (looking up from the bottom of a pot on the stove/trunk of a car, etc., and the characters were multi-layered very well. You watch them grow, change, and not always for the better, just like real life.

  2. Ohh I really like Jesse but see your point. He definitely would need to look more like an addict again.

    1. I don't know if he ever FULLY looked like one, but I don't know that he was ever "lost my teeth" bad with his habit, I can't remember. I DO remember reading that the ONE regret the director or producer had was Aaron Paul's teeth, they were always perfectly shiny, actor-in-Hollywood WHITE. Whiter than anyone you meet in real life, much less someone with that lifestyle.
      I think he's right, but so many shows do that I barely even notice it anymore.

  3. Is there really going to be this Saul show? I can't see the video and don't want to wake my husband up. I loved BB. I was trying to convince my husband, just tonight, to watch the series.

    1. YES! "Better Call Saul" is real, it's happening. They have said that the Mike character will be a part of it. It will be a pre-quel, they're not sure about Walt or Jesse yet. BB was great, this show will be entertaining, not the same caliber, but Saul is very watchable.

  4. OMG too funny! He definitely wouldn't look like that on Meth!

    1. I didn't think so either, especially the white teeth! I'm not sure if there's a poster boy for a casual meth user, seems to go against the whole addictive nature of the drug ;)

  5. I've not seen this show, but I'm totally willing to believe the Season 1 and Season 5 photos are of the same person. It's amazing what too much food and too little grooming will do to the human form.

    1. No doubt about that. Over 40 me looks like I ate teenage me, too. I could never play a methhead.

  6. I'm watching Breaking Bad again and thats why I googled this photo of him which lead me here. I believe the change of his shape between seasons 1 and 5 are totally normal considering what his role in the show is... the change that happened to him in real life is the result of the good life and money that came from his fame on the show. and in the show he as well became millionaire because of his trade. so not surprising that he gained couple pounds.
