Aaron Paul joked that he can “confidently say he’s been called ‘bitch’ more than anyone in the world” thanks to his role on the hit television series “Breaking Bad.”
On Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Kimmel asked Paul if fans still yell “bitch” at him, “Jesse Pinkman style,” before jokingly recalling that “it was a problem last time” Paul stopped by the talk show.
In the critically acclaimed drama, Paul starred as Jesse Pinkman, who famously adopted “bitch” as his linguistic trademark.
During the show, which aired from 2008 to 2013, Pinkman developed an unlikely partnership with his former chemistry teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston) as the pair manufactured and dealt methamphetamine.
“It’s still very much a problem,” Paul, 45, quipped to Kimmel.
“It’s so wild, because the show’s been done for so long,” he continued. “But a lot of people are being, you know, introduced to it now, and I can confidently say I’ve been called ‘bitch’ more than anyone else in the world… it’s true.”
During a 2013 episode of “Conan,” Paul joked that his character Pinkman said “bitch” an “unhealthy amount of times” during the series.
He then revealed his favorite usages from the show to host Conan O’Brien.
“There are so many great bitches. ‘Yeah bitch magnets’ is a good one, or ‘Gatorade me bitch’ is also really good, or, ‘This is my own private domicile, bitch.’ I love all the bitches,” Paul said.
