Sony Pictures gifts statues of iconic duo of Breaking Bad Walter White and Jesse Pinkman to the city of Albuquerque.

“Stay out of my territory”: Breaking Bad’s Walter White and Jesse Pinkman Statues Now Permanently Claim the Albuquerque

The pair of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman may have long been absent from
Albuquerque since Breaking Bad ended its run in 2013. But with their new statues
residing at the Albuquerque Convention Center, they have now permanently made
Albuquerque their territory. Sony Pictures recently unveiled the Walter White
(Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) statues at the convention
center. 


IT’S A GIFT TO THE CITY FOR ITS HOSPITALITY

The creator of the series, Breaking Bad
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-russo-brothers-choose-saul-goodman-from-breaking-bad-to-defend-their-heinous-crime/],
Vince Gilligan was the one to come up with the idea of life-size figures of the
iconic duo. Apparently, this came to him after sculptor Trevor Grove had
initially created a tiny Walter White wax figure. Vince immediately had a
brilliant idea to add his partner Jesse in the mix and give it to the city as a
gift where they shot the majority of the series. “In all seriousness, some folks
are going to say, ‘Wow, just what our city needed.’ I get that. But let me tell
you what I see when I look at these two works of art: I see two of the finest
actors America has ever produced. I see them in character as two
larger-than-life tragic figures, cautionary tales, world-famous ones at that,”
explained [https://ew.com/tv/see-breaking-bad-statues-walt-jesse/] Vince.

BREAKING BAD STARS APPRECIATE THE TRIBUTES TO THEIR CHARACTERS

Aaron was highly emotional, claiming how the show saved his career when he was
going through a financial crunch. Meanwhile, Bryan was more upbeat about the
whole thing. He joked, “We were praying that we wouldn’t look like Cristiano
Ronaldo. That was our big hope. Have you seen that one? Google that. There’s no
preparation for saying you’re getting a statue. I’m just rather grateful that
it’s indoors so that the pigeons won’t crap on our heads.”

them, share with us what you think of these statues.
