Aaron-Paul-Juicy-Fruit

Adorable, adorable Aaron Paul. We love you because your rise to stardom has taken so many unglamorous turns. First, we fell for your childlike exuberance as a contestant on The Price is Right.

And now the TV gods (in the shape of Conan O’Brien) have uncovered another early-career gem. Paul was on Conan to talk about his Hulu series The Path, but Conan took us way-way back with a Juicy Fruit gum commercial from when the actor was a neophyte. And it is so strange! “I don’t know what it really has to do with gum,” the ginger-haired host giggled.

“That paid all my bills,” Paul marveled. “For almost 2 years!” Gum’s a sweet gig, Aaron; but I bet your Breaking Bad residuals are going to taste even better.
