Giancarlo Esposito’s Shocking Revelation: Plotting His Own Murder Before ‘Breaking Bad’

You won’t believe what Gian­car­lo Espos­i­to, the leg­endary ‘Break­ing Bad’ star, recent­ly con­fessed in a jaw-drop­ping inter­view. The actor, who por­trayed the icon­ic Gus Fring, revealed that he once con­sid­ered orches­trat­ing his own mur­der when faced with finan­cial ruin.

Before his big break in ‘Break­ing Bad’, Espos­i­to’s life was far from glam­orous. With four kids and a loom­ing bank­rupt­cy, he found him­self des­per­ate for a solu­tion. In a can­did con­ver­sa­tion on the Jim and Sam Show, the actor admit­ted that he start­ed think­ing about ways to ensure his fam­i­ly’s survival.

Espos­i­to shared how he even asked his ex-wife about their life insur­ance pol­i­cy, con­sid­er­ing whether sui­cide would guar­an­tee a pay­out. How­ev­er, the pain it would cause his fam­i­ly made him think twice. Then, he start­ed con­tem­plat­ing an even more extreme plan – arrang­ing his own mur­der to make it look like an accident.

This dark peri­od in Espos­i­to’s life was ulti­mate­ly turned around by the ground­break­ing series ‘Break­ing Bad’, which gave him the chance to shine as the cun­ning drug lord Gus Fring. Since then, he’s land­ed numer­ous roles in hit shows like ‘Bet­ter Call Saul’, ‘The Boys’, and ‘The Mandalorian’.
