Inside Aaron Paul’s $300K 40th Birthday Bash in the Dominican Republic — with Bryan Cranston!

Hannah Chubb

Aaron Paul may have been celebrating his 40th trip around the sun, but his two-week birthday bash in the Dominican Republic was truly the trip of a lifetime.

The Breaking Bad star, who turned the big 4-0 on August 27, embarked on a celebratory vacation to the Carribean nation about a week before his actual birth date, joined by 40 of his closest friends and family members.

The group — which included Paul’s wife, Lauren, their one-year-old daughter, Story Annabelle, his The Path co-star Michelle Monaghan, and his Breaking Bad partner in crime Bryan Cranston — stayed at Ani Private Resorts Dominican Republic, a 14-bedroom estate set atop a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

A celebrity-favorite spot, the cost per night to stay at the property is $25,000 — meaning a whopping $300,000 bill at the end of their 12-day stay.

@aaronpaul This angels 40th birthday was a couple days ago! We’ve been off the grid, phone-free celebrating with loved ones. 💫 I just came across this photo and it put the biggest smile on my face. You looking down at what would have been 4 month old Story, the purest love and joy in your eyes. You are the most amazing father. On the morning of your 40th, you read letters that I collected for you from your friends and family. I loved hearing the common threads throughout them...hearing about qualities in you that are so deeply engrained into the fabric of who you are that have effected the people in your life: That you consistently show up for people during their hardest times. . That you encourage and inspire people to live in their own unique truth. . That you have remained true to yourself and have never changed who you are. From looking for quarters in your couch to be able to get dinner, never giving up on your dream to eventually finding huge success, you have held onto your heart and your integrity. . That you treat everyone in a room with the same amount of respect and love, no matter who they are, friend or stranger. . That you bring HUGE joy and fun to every situation. . That you dream and love so BIG, it’s contagious. . That every persons most special memories and adventures have been facilitated by and shared with you. . That you are committed to family. . That everyone who works with you, from cast to crew, consistently says you are their favorite person they have ever worked with not only because of how lucky they feel to witness your talent, but because of how you treat every person and because of the positivity you bring onto set. . That you have changed the lives of your friends and have made them better humans. . That you have inspired EVERY man in your life to love out loud and to not be scared to honor and embrace their sensitivity. . That you are pure magic. . You are. Happy birthday best friend, soul mate, lover. I feel so lucky to live life alongside each other, pinky finger holding forever. . 📷 @samanthamarq

Taking advantage of both the infinity pools and the secluded beaches, Paul and his family enjoyed plenty of time in the water, swimming, snorkeling and kayaking.

On dry land, the party was spotted getting competitive playing games like cornhole and bocce, sipping on cocktails all the while (with plenty of Aaron and Cranston’s Mezcal Dos Hombres to go around!).

On Paul’s actual birthday, the group was treated to a sunset cruise before hitting the sand for a private beachfront dinner curated by Chef Juan Vargas. The meal included dishes like tuna tataki, chicken tikka, greek salad and grilled fish in banana leaves.

Before celebrating his milestone birthday, Paul has been busy preparing for the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, a highly anticipated follow-up to the hit AMC show, which will premiere on Netflix on Oct. 11.

Though the film remains shrouded in mystery, it will revolve around Paul, who is reprising his Emmy-winning role as Jesse Pinkman.

“In the wake of his dramatic escape from captivity, Jesse must come to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future,” Netflix said of the plot in a statement.

The sequel will air on the streaming service before airing on AMC, according to multiple reports.
