Aaron Paul lived off his Juicy Fruit advert for two years before making it
The Breaking Bad actor has no regrets over his first, very strange, commercial

Actors are well aware that starting out in Hollywood generally means appearing in a number of questionable adverts that will come to haunt them as soon as they rise to prominence.
But Aaron Paul has no regrets over one of his earliest commercials for Juicy Fruit gum, which was resold to a number of countries and meant he was able to support himself for two years.
Paul, who also appeared in adverts for pizza, soft drinks and acne cream, is even comfortable with the fact that the advert in question was really quite “oddly sexual” because of the paycheque.
“When they stopped playing that commercial, it was such a loud reality check of 'Oh my god, I need to get a job.’”
