Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate Winslet, Jason Statham: Stars Who Narrowly Escaped Death

Aaron Paul’s Near Miss on ‘Breaking Bad’ Set Aaron Paul, known for portraying Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, experienced a frightening incident on set. The chaotic nature of his character nearly manifested in a real-life tragedy for the actor. The occurrence stunned the crew.

Saved by a Timely Move During the filming of the first season’s sixth episode, Paul was asked to shift his position slightly for a better camera angle. Moments later, a heavy boulder dislodged from an RV’s roof, crashing precisely where he had just been standing. This small adjustment saved him from being crushed by mere seconds.
