Aaron Paul has been the centre of many of our lives over the past few years. His role as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad has become somewhat iconic despite the fact the series only ended last year. Who would have guessed though, that the upcoming star of Need For Speed had a fully fledged advert career prior to his Breaking Bad part.

We take a look at five commercials Mr. Paul starred in way back when. And do you know what, he hasn't changed a bit. It seems he was casted into the totally rad/I play by my own rules/cheeky chappy young adult for longer than we may have first thought.

These are all gas, though. The legendary Mr. T even makes an appearance in one of them with a (you've guessed it) 'I pity the fool' gag.

#2 KELLOGS CORN POPS

 #3 JUICY FRUIT

 #4 1-800-COLLECT 

#5 VANILLA COKE

There you have it. The commercial career of Aaron Paul. Was it just me, or were you half expecting Walter White to just stroll in out of nowhere, wearing nothing but his underpants, in each of those ads? Probably a sign I was too emotionally invested in Breaking Bad. I wonder when those side effects wear off.

Need For Speed hits our cinemas on March 12th, so if you're interested in seeing Paul tearing around the place in really fast cars, make sure to stick it on your list.
