‘It’s Still Very Much A Problem’: Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul Talks Fans Still Yelling ‘B—h’ At Him In Public, Even In Front Of His Kids

Without a doubt, “Breaking Bad” stands among the best TV shows ever made. Inevitably, when a series is this outstanding, catchphrases associated with the characters become ingrained in popular culture. One such phrase linked to Jesse Pinkman, portrayed by Aaron Paul, is his frequent and bold use of the term ‘bitch.’ Remarkably, even a decade after the show’s finale, Paul continues to hear this profanity directed at him, occasionally even when his children are around.

The actor-cum-producer appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to discuss his forthcoming 2025 film, the sci-fi thriller titled Ash. The conversation veered towards his enduring friendship with Bryan Cranston and their famous AMC series. In the interview excerpt, the host inquired if the term “bitch” was still frequently used in Paul’s company. He promptly affirmed it persists, and even more so due to a fresh wave of viewers, to which he joked about with a smile.

The issue remains quite prevalent, as the series has been around for a while, yet many new viewers are discovering it, and I must admit, I’ve been referred to as “bitch” more times than any other person globally. This is indeed accurate!

As a film enthusiast, I’ve got to say, it’s astonishing to consider that Aaron Paul might never outgrow the shadow of “El Camino.” Yet, as each new wave of television viewers grow into the show, he could have several more decades to shine. Despite the maturation of his character in the five-season run of “Breaking Bad’s” spinoff, the actor understands that the nickname “Bitch” is probably going to remain a significant part of his fanbase for years to come.

Despite the “Need For Speed” actor being comfortable with the nickname in most circumstances, he expressed some discomfort when fans continue to use it around his children. At their current age, they’re unaware of the term’s connotation or the full context connecting it to Jesse Pinkman. In Paul’s own words:

Occasionally, indeed, indeed, they’re clueless about its meaning… not just yet, but I sense that my character has given it a touch of affectionate connotation.

Discovering his kids receive quite a lot of talk when a specific group of enthusiasts visits is rather surprising. Fortunately, it’s not extremely offensive language and doesn’t compare to some of the shocking Breaking Bad scenes, so the Paul family likely wouldn’t feel too differently about it. Nevertheless, it enhances the best Walter and Jesse scenes, and I think the actors who portray them are aware of that fact as well.

After more than a decade since their drug-lord series concluded, both actors have advanced to notable roles. Paul is set to debut his latest project, Ash, on March 21st, and it’s expected that he will reprise his role as one of the primary antagonists in Season 4 of Invincible.

And just a heads up, if you ever encounter Aaron Paul, be mindful of the language you use – especially terms like “bitch.” It’s best to avoid such expressions when addressing him.
