Aaron Paul and Netflix have a very strained relationship. With Netflix distributing the actor’s 2019 movie El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, Aaron Paul is still not happy with the way the streaming giant handles money and fair pay.
As per a report, the Need for Speed actor stated that even though their iconic series Breaking Bad has been streaming on Netflix for years now, they still haven’t paid Aaron Paul. Warning that it is now time to pay off the debt, fans get an ominous sense of warning from the actor!
Aaron Paul Warns Netflix To Pay Up Their Price For Streaming
Breaking Bad changed the world by depicting the story of a professor fighting cancer and drug lords at the same time. Having a slow pace throughout the show, the AMC drama worked as a slow burner that intensified as the stakes got higher and higher with each season and each villain.
The series got a heavy rating of 9.5/10 on IMDB and 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and became the talk of the town as soon as it aired. With Bryan Cranston in the lead role of Walter White aka Heisenberg and Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman, the duo became one of the most recognizable duos. With 5 seasons to its name, the series has been streaming on Netflix for quite some time now but Aaron Paul hasn’t forgotten.
In an interview, the actor talked about his support for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike and how he hasn’t been paid any money even though Netflix has been airing Breaking Bad.
“I don’t get a piece from Netflix on Breaking Bad to be totally honest and that’s insane to me. I think a lot of these streamers know that they have been getting away with not paying people a fair wage and now it’s time to pony up.”
As if this wasn’t enough to rally the people, Aaron Paul’s co-star and the lead of the series, Bryan Cranston also weighed in on the SAG-AFTRA strike.
