Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will perform a live speaking engagement at Auckland's Te Paepae theatre on 28 January. The actors, known for their roles in the series Breaking Bad, will present a 90-minute double act. This event marks the first time the pair will appear on stage together in New Zealand and Australia.
The 110-minute event is described as an "unguarded conversation" rather than a panel or press show. The duo will discuss their career progression, personal lives, and the production of Breaking Bad, including its writing, mistakes, and difficult scenes. They are also expected to talk about their shared tequila brand.
Tickets for the show begin at $129. An option to meet the actors and have a photo taken is available for $750.
The actors' business partnership, Dos Hombres, was established in 2019 to sell craft mezcal and tequila. Aaron Paul previously spent time in New Zealand in 2023 while filming the movie Ash.
