Aaron Paul: El Camino: A Breaking Bad Story gave Jesse Pinkman an "ending that I didn’t realize that I wanted"

The Daily Beast

"I thought Breaking Bad ended so perfectly and I loved that it was sort of ambiguous, like, 'Oh wait. I think he’s OK. I’m not sure exactly what happened, but I’m OK with not knowing and I’m OK with sort of creating my own version of that story,'" says Paul. "But to be able to be in that skin and be directed by our creator, who is just such a beautiful man, such an incredible talent, but also the most humble person in Hollywood, who just never takes credit for himself—which he should really learn to start to do because he deserves it. But just revisiting with old family and friends from the show. It was just such a beautiful time in my life, Breaking Bad was so life-changing for everyone involved. To be able to play around in that universe yet again and be directed by that creator is obviously just such a dream come true."
