No mês passado, os atores Bryan Cranston e Aaron Paul de Breaking Bad causaram furor entre os fãs da série quando publicaram uma série de imagens conjuntas no Instagram.

Os dois atores, no entanto, revelaram hoje que a parceria deles não tem nada a ver com a série de TV. Juntos, eles irão produzir mezal, uma típica bebida alcoólica mexicana, batizada de Dos Hombres.

"Nós tivemos nosso momento de vida quando filmamos Breaking Bad e realmente construímos um vínculo muito especial. Sabendo que não poderíamos compartilhar a tela por um bom tempo nossos pensamentos se voltara para um novo projeto. Bebendo nossos drinks e pensamos no que deveria ser", escreveram os dois em um comunicado publicado no Instagram.

A ideia de criar uma marca de mezcal surgiu três anos atrás em um sushi bar de Nova York. "Depois daquele restaurante, nós não tiramos a ideia da nossa cabeça. Então nós viajamos por Oaxaca [estado mexicano] para ver se encontrávamos algo. E tinha que ser algo tão bom que mesmo quem não gosta de mezcal iria amar. Teria que ser perfeito ou não iríamos fazer", continuou o comunicado.

Three years ago we sat in a sushi bar in New York. Talking about life and what we could possibly do down the road together. We had the time of our lives while shooting Breaking Bad and truly built a very special bond. Knowing that we couldn't share the screen for quite a while - our thoughts turned to a new project. We sipped cocktails and thought about what it should be. The younger one looked at his drink and said, you know what we should do? We should do a really special Mezcal. The older one said, you mean the liquor with a worm at the bottom? Nah, that was just some bullshit gimmick, I mean real, artesanal Mezcal made by hand in Mexico. After that dinner we couldn't get the idea out of our heads. So, we started traveling to Oaxaca to see if we could find it, and we mean it had to be "it," something so damn good even people who don't think they like Mezcal will love it. It had to be perfect or we weren't going to do it. We searched high and low all over Oaxaca, met incredible people along the way and after a beautiful yet grueling search throughout that majestic landscape we believed we may have found our place. Our Mezcal. It was on a dirt-road, in tiny village, hours away from the center of town, we found it and it was perfect. Holy shit it was perfect. We looked at each other and just simply nodded. This is it. We named it Dos Hombres - two guys on a quest. It's been a long and crazy journey and we couldn't be happier to share this with you and the rest of the world. We are crazy about the taste, the aroma, and the versatility of this smokey, age-old alcohol. Try it, and let us know what you think. We are certain you will love it. Well, that's our story.
