The show that really made Aaron Paul a star was “Breaking Bad,” but now that the show is over, Paul is ready to show the world that he's not just Jesse Pinkman, the out-of-luck drug dealer who can never catch a break.

At the moment, Paul is busy promoting his latest film, the first big screen adaptation of the popular racing games franchise, “Need for Speed.” According to Page Six, Paul was present at the Cinema Society screening of the film, where he made a joke about racing Justin Bieber.

“Who wouldn’t want to race against Justin Bieber?,” Paul joked, but he quickly added on a more serious note “No, I do not support what Justin Bieber does on the street.”

The actor is referring to Justin Bieber's recent arrest for DUI and drag racing, both of which have earned him a meeting with a Miami judge in May of this year. It seems that Aaron Paul wanted to distance himself from this kind of behavior and promote safe driving among the youth today who will probably show up in large numbers to see his racing flick.

Paul is displaying some serious responsible attitude, despite the fact that on screen he plays a reckless illegal street racer who is out for revenge. It probably has something to do with the fact that he performed most of his stunts on the film.

At least one of those driving stunts put the fear of God into him as he later recalled “I never really felt like I was in danger. The scariest was a specific shot where the director wanted me flying at the camera and just skidding to a stop . . . Someone was holding that camera, so I was a little nervous to hit the person, and that was our director. And he said, ‘If you hit me, don’t worry about it, I’ll just roll over the car,’ and that didn’t make me feel good about the situation.”

Meanwhile, Justin Bieber doesn't have any problem with speeding in exotic cars on public streets and even bragging about it on his social media. While cops couldn't prove that he was speeding at the time of the arrest, the car's GPS he was using at the time confirmed that he had previously been traveling at break-neck speeds around town.

Justin is a big fan of expensive, powerful cars, something that sparked a rumor at some point shortly after Paul Walker's death that he was going to replace him in the popular car racing series “The Fast & Furious.” Needless to say, the only furious people were the fans who swore they weren't going to watch the movie if Justin made an appearance.
