Paul and Cranston, well-known for their roles on Breaking Bad, worked together as costars on the show from 2008 to 2013 and developed a friendship outside of the spotlight. Despite portraying characters who were business partners in the meth industry, Paul and Cranston decided to collaborate in real life in 2019 by establishing their own Mezcal company, Dos Hombres.

According to the actors' statement on the Dos Hombres website, the purpose behind this venture was to create a flawless mezcal. They accomplished this by blending the finest Espadin agave, meticulously chosen from the hillsides of a quaint village located in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Cranston and Paul built up anticipation among their fans on social media for several weeks before revealing their reunion in the alcohol industry, marking a significant event that occurred six years after the conclusion of Breaking Bad.

"Happy @doshombres day everyone! These wonderful drinks are now making their way through your neighborhood," Paul announced on Instagram in December 2019 to celebrate the availability of Dos Hombres for purchase. "Please refrain from trying to flag down the driver and buy our delicious mezcal directly from the truck. It seems that this is not appreciated in the liquor industry and may startle our amazing drivers. Instead, feel free to follow the truck to its destination and purchase as much Dos Hombres as you desire. With affection, Aaron & Bryan."
