The Dominican Republic is an Island known for world-class snorkeling and endless exploring. Breaking Bad star, Aaron Paul celebrated his fortieth birthday with forty of his closest friends and costars. The guests racked up a 300k tab on luxurious accommodations at the Ani Private Resort and sipped on Dos Hombres Mezcal.
2019 was a big year for Paul who not only celebrated his big 4-0, he recently launched his line of artisanal Mezcal with Breaking Bad Costar, Bryan Cranston. The duo will also be seen in their Breaking Bad film “El Camino” which will be in theaters on October 11th.
Paul and Cranston launched Dos Hombres Mezcal in July with its extensive attention to detail. Paul proudly boasted on Instagram recently, “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 a tiny village, hours away from the centre of town, we found it and it was perfect. Holy shit it was perfect.”
Dos Hombres is made with Espadin agave which is curated and hand-selected in the hills of the village of Oaxaca, Mexico. According to the Dos Hombres website, it is best to “appreciate the flavors” of Dos Hombres Mezcal by serving in an extended glass and allowing time for the Mezcal to become “awake.” People enjoying Mezcal must be encouraged to consume responsibly.
Paul and Cranston had been longing to try a business venture since the BB series ended in 2013. They both discovered their common interest of rich & flavorful Mezcal during a conversation in 2016 while enjoying sushi in New York City. Cranston and Paul sought out to find the best and most authentic and artisanal Mezcal in Mexico.
The forty guests and family including Paul’s wife of six years, Lauren and baby daughter, Story-Annabelle. Guests enjoyed premier resort lodging included a staggering 25k a night 14-room villa suite with endless ocean views. The Ani Private Resort has also played a vacation destination to Cardi B, Pitbull, Christina Augeilara, Vin Diesel, Shakira among other A-List celebrity guests. The resort bestows several extravagant infinity pools, a spa and beach front accommodations with private villas and even on-call babysitters. Paul commented on Instagram “Never have I felt more taken care of in my life.
Aaron and friends were seen playing cornhole and water activities like snorkeling and kayaking during the two-week excursion across the island all while enjoying custom mezcal cocktails by Dos Hombres. The resort offers an array of activities like biking, private chefs, and beautiful grounds to explore.

“This angels 40th birthday was a couple of days ago! We’ve been off the grid, phone-free celebrating with loved ones. I just came across this photo and it put the biggest smile on my face. You looking down at what would have been 4-month-old Story, the purest love and joy in your eyes. You are the most amazing father…. Happy birthday best friend, soul mate, lover. I feel so lucky to live life alongside each other, pinky finger holding ’forever.’”
