Having fun was one of the big reasons why they joined together: “It’s funny, almost seven years after we made ‘Breaking Bad,’ we haven’t had many chances to enjoy it, due to the intensity of the show.”points out. “This was different because we had three days where we just smiled and laughed and enjoyed each other’s company, and wearing those costumes meant a lot to us, as did the show itself.”.
