Breaking Bad star, Aaron Paul, or Jesse Pinkman as fans know him, appeared on The Price Is Right back in 2000 and has finally spoke about how crazy he seemed. While promoting his newest film, Need For Speed, he joked about his moment on the game show.
The video of the two-time Emmy winner on the show surfaced the Internet in August and went viral quickly. People are huge fans of Jesse Pinkman and seeing him at such a young age, wearing glasses, and going crazy high-fiving audience members was such an exciting find.
According to Us Weekly, Aaron Paul can’t help but laugh when he sees the clip from his time on The Price is Right. At this time, he was an anonymous game show contestant who hadn’t begun his acting career yet. “It looks like I’m on some serious crack,” Paul joked. “I downed about six cans of red bull because I knew they wanted people with energy. It worked, but I could not sit still. It was not healthy.”
When Paul was called down to be a contestant, announced by his real name Aaron Sturtevant, he was jumping up and down and running down the aisle, high-fiving every person he passed, while screaming “I love you Bob! You’re my idol!” to the shows host at the time, Bob Barker. When he got to the stage, he could barely stand still and continued to jump around and looked overly excited to be there. When he was the closest bid to the first prize and finally got on the stage he shook Barkers hand and screamed to the crowd, “I’m touching Bob Barker!!”
Paul didn’t win the grand prize that day, but made it to the bottom two. “I bid on a Camaro and some other prizes, and was $132 over,” he said. Breaking Bad fans absolutely love seeing a young Jesse Pinkman acting crazy and enthusiastic on the popular game show, and the video is one you have to see!
