EXCLUSIVE: We chat to Triple 9 star Aaron Paul about hurling, stalking Woody Harrelson and people who DON’T like Breaking Bad

Yeah, bitch! Yeah, gritty police dramas about bank robbers and corrupt cops!

From Breaking Bad to the big screen, Aaron Paul is making a welcome return to Irish cinemas as just one of the many super stars of new heist thriller, Triple 9.

We’re pretty sure he might definitely probably be one of the guys underneath a red balaclava in the picture below.

Looking good, Aaron.

Triple 9 is released on Friday 19 February and is a cracker of a crime thriller, boasting a truly all-star cast including Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie and our aforementioned friend, Aaron Paul.

Directed by John Hillcoat (The Proposition, Lawless), Triple 9 tells the intense tale of a gang of criminals and corrupt cops who plan the murder of a fellow police officer, all so they can pull off their biggest and most daring heist yet.

Think Heat meets The Town and you’re starting to get the idea.

After presenting him with his very own hurley in Dublin last year, we caught up with Aaron to insult him, talk about his Woody Harrelson-stalking problem, we chat about what it was like working with Irish sexpot Jamie Dornan and we also had another very special gift for him.

Enjoy…

Check out the badass trailer here…
