Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul has revealed if he would ever play Jesse Pinkman again.

The actor was speaking after the release of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, a Netflix film that follows what happened to Pinkman after the finale of Breaking Bad.

Aaron Paul admitted to PEOPLE that he was “all for” reprising his role as Pinkman again at some point – but it all came down to one thing.

He said:

“I have no idea, man. I thought I said goodbye to this guy so many years ago. Reading the script was such a beautiful homecoming.

“It’s up to Vince [Gilligan, Breaking Bad creator]. You know, Vince and I definitely plan on working together many times in the future and if it’s Breaking Bad-related then great, if not then so be it.

“If he wants to dive deep into this again then I’m all for it.”

He also said that the end of the movie was “the exact ending I envisioned” for the character.

The 40-year-old continued:

“Years ago, when the show was wrapping up, I was always hoping that Jesse would find some sort of inner peace and find a peaceful setting to call home and escape the chaos.

“I think – I hope – that he has found that.”
