In a stunning confession by Breaking Bad producers, Walter White and all other Breaking Bad characters made real meth and sold it on the black market. In fact, 90% of the show’s profits came from the drug money and only 10% from syndication and advertisements.
We spoke to an AMC executive for more details. “Well, one of the producers approached us. He wanted to quit show business and start dabbling in the narcotics’ trade. We were all interested, but we didn’t want to go to jail. So, we came up with the idea to create a show that revolved around meth. That would allow us to pass the real thing off as a prop and sell it unhindered. It was just like Argo. In order to help the nation, they masqueraded as a film crew and rescued stranded diplomats. Anyway, after observing the high accident rate of making meth, we decided to include an idiot’s guide to making meth that would attract fresh talent into the business. Both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul were captivated by how we took Meth-od Acting to another level and readily agreed. The business boomed and the series became a huge hit, so it was a win-win situation.”
