Bryan Cranstonis looking to getGeorge Clooney‘s input — but it’s not about his next role.
While speaking to reporters at Clayton and Ellen Kershaw’s 7th AnnualPing Pong 4 Purposeevent at Dodgers Stadium Thursday night, theBreaking Badstar joked that he’d like the Casamigos owner to taste his new mezcal.
“I have not [sent it to him] but I am knocking on his door,” Cranston said with a laugh. “I am right behind him.”
Cranston teamed up with his formerBreaking BadcostarAaron Paulto release a new line of mezcal called Dos Hombres. They announced their joint venture in July after “lamenting” over how they missed working together.
“We were lamenting one time in New York about three years ago, and we were talking about the fact that we would not be able to work together or see each other for years, and [Paul] said, ‘We should do a Mezcal together,’ ” Cranston said at the benefit, which raises money forKershaw’s Challenge. “I thought, ‘When I was in college, the Mezcal was terrible, it tasted like rubbing alcohol, it had a worm at the bottom, it was like you had lost a bet.’”
That’s when the pair decided to launch their search for the best mezcal, finding the perfect one in Dos Hombres, the actor revealed.

“I love to drink it neat, maybe a little bit of ice, put it in a Bloody Mary instead of vodka,” Cranston added. “Make a little mezcal Bloody Mary and you are in business.”

“After that dinner, we couldn’t get the idea out of our heads,” he said of their meeting in New York. “So, we started traveling to Oaxaca to see if we could find it, and we mean it had to be ‘it,’ something so damn good even people who don’t think they like mezcal will love it.”
He said that they eventually found their “perfect” mezcal “on a dirt-road, in tiny village, hours away from the center of town.” Paul says they named the liquor Dos Hombres after what was just “two guys on a quest.”
