Walt’s House

Walt’s house – the epicentre of Breaking Bad – was close by. I parked up the street first to get the classic longshot you see so often…

I’d been told the owners were relatively friendly and tolerant of tourists – so I thought, fuck it, and knocked on the door…

This is the old guy who actually lives in Walt’s house! He was perfectly friendly and happy to have a picture. I asked him if he would mind if I put my car on his drive for a photo. He said it was cool, but to be quick as his wife would be back soon and she hated people like me. So I quickly raced to get the shot that is basically what this whole roadtrip has been about..

He was a lovely bloke – he told me that although the interiors were all shot on a set the swimming pool out back was genuine – and the producers added it in as a location once they realised his house had one. I cheekily asked for a look but I guess that was a step too far for him and he told me to bugger off before his wife got back.
