Giancarlo Esposito Was So Broke Before ‘Breaking Bad’ That He Considered Arranging His Own Murder So His Kids Could Get His Life Insurance Money


Giancarlo Esposito was so broke before "Breaking Bad" that he considered arranging his own murder so that his children could benefit.

Giancarlo Esposito appeared on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s “Jim & Sam” show while promoting his new AMC drama series “Parish” and revealed that he was so broke prior to landing his iconic role of Gus Fring on “ Breaking Bad ” that he once considered arranging his own murder so that his children could have some financial protection courtesy of his life insurance money. The actor considered this around 2008, a year before “Breaking Bad” inextricably changed his career by making him an iconic villain and opening the door for roles in “The Mandalorian,” “The Boys” and more. He told British GQ earlier this year that he is highly interested in playing Gus for a third time in a prequel series about the villain.
