Aaron Paul's encounter with an aggressive fan reveals the dark side of fame and the pressures celebrities face to maintain their public image.

Breaking Bad is undeniably the masterpiece that soared Aaron Paul's acting career to extraordinary heights, thanks to the immersive plot and the actor's invaluable portrayal of Jesse Pinkman in the saga. If anything, it gave him the real recognition and fame he deserved when he first embarked on this professional journey back in 1990.

But like many other actors have complained in the entertainment industry, Paul also found some aspects of this fame exhausting to deal with. Like the one time this became his existence when he tried to comfort a friend during his difficult time, and things took a turn for the worse when a fan found this unruly and hurled vile insults at him at the worst possible time.

Just as with great power comes great responsibility, with great fame comes an enormous burden to carry—something that is not always easy. Aaron Paul, for one, had perhaps the most harrowing first-hand experience of the same thing as a fan made him realize the enormous obligation to maintain the public image regardless of the celebrity's true state.
