The actors looked dashing as they posed on the Red Carpet at California's Baltaire for the premiere of Netflix's El Camino: A Breaking Bad movie, in a sweet shot which saw Bryan perch his hand on Aaron's shoulder.

Another saw Aaron break out into a huge smile as the pair shared a joke.

The new series was written and directed by Vince Gilligan, the original creator of Breaking Bad and spin-off Better Call Saul.

Breaking Bad, which ran from 2008-13, focused on teacher Walter who turns to drug crime after a lung cancer diagnosis.

He enlists the help of student Jesse, with the pair becoming major players in the criminal underworld.

This time around, the plotline will centre on fugitive Jesse attempting to outrun his past.

It is a direct follow-up to the series and tracks Jesse following his escape from the Nazi group who had held him captive.

Yet although Bryan was a welcome face at the US premiere, it remains to be seen whether Walter will actually make an appearance in the series.

The only other confirmed cast member is Charles Baker, who plays Skinny Pete.

In the film's first trailer Skinny Pete is seen being interrogated by police but refusing to give up any info on his pal Jesse.

Breaking Bad finished airing six years ago - yet Aaron has promised the movie will be worth the wait.

Talking of re-visiting his much loved role, he said at the premiere: “I thought I’d said goodbye to this guy so long ago.
