Owners of “Breaking Bad” House Ask Fans Not To Throw Pizzas On Their Roof
If you’re planning a vacation this summer, it would probably be a good idea to take “going to Albuquerque to the throw a pizza onto Walter White’s roof” off of your list of possibilities.
The Daily Dot is reporting that the New Mexico home that was used as an exterior for the wildly popular TV series “Breaking Bad” has turned into something of a tourist attraction, and, in a famous scene from season three, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) angrily tosses a box of pizza and the pie lands on the roof.
People are coming to the house and trying to recreate the scene in much the same way that people have been coming to run up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to recreate the iconic scene from “Rocky.” However, no one actually lives under the steps of the museum, and the couple that lives in the house are nice, easy going people, who don’t mind tourists stopping by to look at the house, but they are starting to find the whole “there’s a pizza on there roof again” routine to be less and less amusing.
The show’s creator, Vince Gilligan, went on the “Better Call Saul” Insider Podcast to ask people to stop.
“There is nothing funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady’s roof,” said Gilligan (the Skipper was unavailable for comment).
