Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul seen chilling at the beach in Whitstable

BREAKING Bad star Aaron Paul has been chilling by the seaside on holiday — in Whitstable.

He was seen flying a kite on the Kent coast — and even popped to a shop to buy a liquor he created.

The 42-year-old American, who played meth cook Jesse Pinkman in the series, is staying at a £500-a-night beachfront home in the quaint town.

One local said: “I had the shock of my life when I saw him chilling out on the beach. It was incredible. I thought, ‘That’s Jesse out of Breaking Bad’. 

“I approached him and asked for a selfie and he joked he wanted a selfie with me.

“He was a really nice guy. He was with one of his children kiting. It all looked so British.”

Aaron also dropped in to an off-licence and found a bottle of Dos Hombres, a spirit he created with Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White.

Ross Bell, 50, manager of The Offy, said: “I saw him out of the corner of my eye and thought, ‘Nah, it can’t be him’.

"But then he pointed up at the Dos Hombres and went to his wife, ‘Hey, baby, they’ve got it’. He looked absolutely thrilled.”

Locals are speculating over why he was on holiday there — saying it could be for the town’s famous oysters.

One said: “Margate’s not too far and you get celebs there, but not Whitstable.”
