Albuquerque to Unveil Statues of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman

The city of Albuquerque is planning to unveil statues dedicated to Breaking Bad characters Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.

The statues were commissioned back in 2019 by the show's creator Vince Gilligan, with plans to donate them to the city.

"Over the course of fifteen years, two TV shows and one movie, Albuquerque has been wonderful to us. I wanted to return the favor and give something back...These larger-than-life bronzes of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman exist thanks to the generosity of Sony Pictures Television and the artistry of sculptor Trevor Grove, and I love them. It makes me happy to picture them gracing The Duke City for decades to come, attracting busloads of tourists."

Even years after the show ended, it has continued to drive tourism to the city.

The statues will be displayed inside of the Albuquerque Convention Center after being revealed in a ceremony on July 29th with stars of the show Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul in attendance.
