Stars of cult TV show unrecognisable at their mini-reunion

Three of the stars of one of the most famous TV shows of all time reunited recently - and fans couldn’t believe their eyes.

Breaking Bad fans have been sent into a frenzy following a reunion by three of its stars, 10 years after the finale aired.

Matt Jones, Charles Baker and Rodney Rush - better known as Badger, Skinny Pete and Combo, respectively - popped up on social media over the weekend after getting together for a meet and greet at the Breaking Bad store in Albuquerque.

“I had a great time bringing my good friends [Charles Baker, Matt Jones and Rodney Rush] to the first ever Skinny Pete, Badger and Combo reunion!” the Blunt Management founder wrote alongside a series of pictures of the trio.

He went on to thank store staff for helping put on the “amazing event”.

Fans were delighted to see the cast back together, with one begging in the comments section: “Let them have their own show already.”

“You three are my heroes!” added another.

“That’s it, I’m watching Breaking Bad again,” one fan wrote.

Breaking Bad, which premiered in 2008 and wrapped up in 2013, is widely considered one of the best television shows of all time. Starring Bryan Cranston as Walter White and Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman, it received critical acclaim for its performances and storytelling.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad film was released on Netflix in 2019 and has a 92% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.
