"  Breaking Bad was a game changer for both AMC and a then unknown Aaron Paul, who played Jesse Pinkman, television&amp;#039;s first meth-cooking sex symbol. (His unlikely catchphrase: &amp;quot;Yeah, bitch!&amp;quot;) Nothing about Paul&amp;#039;s trajectory could be considered typical. He grew up in Boise, Idaho, the youngest son of a Baptist minister; his mother gave birth to him on the bathroom floor a month premature, cutting the umbilical cord herself\u2014and it seems Paul, 34, has been in a rush ever since. He graduated early from high school and moved to L.A. at age 17 without ever having cursed, had a beer, or had sex. Now he has two Emmys, a potential franchise in the offing\u2014this month&amp;#039;s cross-country racing flick, Need for Speed\u2014and a new wife, Lauren Parsekian, cofounder of the antibullying nonprofit Kind Campaign. Here, Paul makes his case for the title of World&amp;#039;s Most Generous Husband. Of the many unbelievable things he says about marriage: He and his wife have never had a fight. You delivered pizza in high school. Did any of the women ever invite you in? Oh yeah! I had this single mother who would always request that I deliver her pizzas. I was working the day after Christmas, and she answered her door in a robe that was tied\u2014but was kind of open. She asked if I could hook up the PlayStation she got her kids. She was a mature woman. But I loved the seductiveness of what was happening. Related: TV Buzz: The Creator of &amp;#039;Breaking Bad&amp;#039; on Saying Goodbye to the Series Did you stay? It wasn&amp;#039;t like we were alone in the living room! The kids were there. I helped with the PlayStation, and I left. I didn&amp;#039;t take it to the next level. Your father was a minister. What did he teach you about women? To have good morals. Be a good person. Don&amp;#039;t be a dick. Related: Sober Sex With Colin Farrel Good advice. You moved to L.A. at 17. Did the women eat you alive? I was very driven in high school. I worked a bunch of odd jobs. I never partied. I never drank. I was just a theater geek who was obsessed with movies. My first girlfriend was a producer on a pilot I did. I was 19 years old. She was in her late twenties. We dated on and off for a very long time. I lost my virginity to her. Is there anything you&amp;#039;d do differently about your first time? [Pauses] No. Really? No, it was great. Have you ever broken a woman&amp;#039;s heart? Yeah, probably. Not on purpose. That first girlfriend, she asked me to marry her. Our relationship wasn&amp;#039;t going that great. I was at the airport. She was flying me somewhere as a surprise. I could tell she was really nervous. Finally, she tells me we&amp;#039;re going to see my family in Idaho. Then she starts saying, &amp;quot;I know we&amp;#039;ve had our ups and downs, but I just love you so much. Will you marry me?&amp;quot; I was so floored. I go, &amp;quot;Are you serious?&amp;quot; It was awful. Maybe she thought it would save the relationship. Did you go on the trip? We did. I come walking off the plane and everyone is there. My mom, my dad, my grandparents. They were there to say congratulations. Then they saw our posture, and all their excitement faded. Do you believe in monogamy? Did you say polygamy? No, monogamy. One-on-one. For sure. I think that&amp;#039;s what everyone deep down really wants. If I asked all the women you&amp;#039;ve ever dated to agree on something about you, what would they say? Wow. He&amp;#039;s got a lot of energy? He&amp;#039;s very childlike? You met your wife at Coachella. The night you got together, you told her you were going to marry her. Had you used that line before? Absolutely not. I knew what she was about. She just wants the world to be a better place. Our first date after Coachella was a trip to Vegas. We bought our first child a baby leather jacket from All Saints. What? We also jumped into a cab and said, &amp;quot;Take us to the nearest chapel. We&amp;#039;re getting married.&amp;quot; The Little White Chapel ended up being closed. We probably would have gone through with it. It would have been a pretty funny story. But I&amp;#039;m happy we got married when we did\u2014a year later. You had a 1920s Parisian theme wedding. Did your friends give you any shit about it? No! Every single one of them was like, &amp;quot;Oh man, we need to step up our game.&amp;quot; I don&amp;#039;t understand why every guy is not a romantic. I enjoy it. What did Bryan Cranston teach you about women? [Laughs] He knows I&amp;#039;m a hopeless romantic. He always said, &amp;quot;Do not settle.&amp;quot; What did you learn\u2014good or bad\u2014about marriage from your parents? My parents are madly in love. People get in fights because they don&amp;#039;t communicate, because you don&amp;#039;t want to hurt the other person. If you do want to hurt the other person, then shame on you\u2014you&amp;#039;re an asshole. My wife and I do not argue. We communicate. We talk. But we&amp;#039;ve never fought in our entire relationship. Really? Don&amp;#039;t you ever want to just have a blowout fight? Sometimes it feels so good! I used to be addicted to those types of relationships. And it did feel good, because you&amp;#039;re releasing your frustrations. But with her, there is no frustration. Now that Breaking Bad has ended, is your wife annoyed to have you around the house all the time? I actually haven&amp;#039;t been home. I&amp;#039;m doing more films. It&amp;#039;s good to stay busy.
