An Evening with Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul

For five years Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul lived inside them: the chemistry teacher, cooking his way to ruin; the aimless kid, struggling to find his identity. They filmed in the desert, drove home in the dark, and came back the next morning to do it all again. By the end of it they had made something a generation will never let go of – and they had found, in each other, enduring friendship.

“Breaking Bad is the most complete, morally serious and daring work of American television storytelling in a generation.” — The New Yorker

For the first time together in Australia, Bryan and Aaron will be on stage together to talk about how the show was made, what it gave to each, and what it took out of them. They will discuss everything Breaking Bad: the writing, the production’s long days, the mistakes, the danger, the scenes that cracked them up with laughter - and the ones that broke them up with despair. 

The New York Times has just placed Breaking Bad as the #1 show of the 21st Century - Voted on by over 500 Stars, Show-runners, and other notable names. 

'Exquisitely performed, meticulously shot, “Breaking Bad” grew from its nerd-criminal premise into a sweeping American story of greed and hubris. Yes, there was a science to the show’s thrills and heartbreak. But above all, there was art'. — James Poniewozik

Breaking Bad made them international stars… but find out what they’re really made of. What drives them. What they advise young artists hoping to have a career in the performing arts. What they enjoy doing when they’re not working. Their personal lives… and if they’ve tried Vegemite.

This is not a panel and not a press tour. It is two extraordinary men, in two ordinary chairs, in an unguarded conversation about the roles that defined a generation, the years that shaped them, and the friendship: improbable, durable, the kind people write about – that has carried them through everything since.

Coming this January! Join them for a talk about their Empire Business!

…and they’ll be sharing news on their tequila & mezcal, of course!
