Aaron Paul shares RJ Mitte's mental-health video on Instagram after co-star's death
Aaron Paul posted a video of late RJ Mitte urging mental-health awareness, adding a personal tribute following Mitte's suicide.
Aaron Paul posted an Instagram video featuring his former "Breaking Bad" co-star RJ Mitte speaking about the importance of mental-health care. In the clip, Mitte addresses the camera, saying, "It’s very important to take care of one’s physical health, but it’s equally as important to take care of one’s mental health. More often than not, we hide that. We hide how we’re truly feeling… It’s not OK to harbor that feeling, harbor those emotions. So I’m hoping to inspire each and every one that sees this video today."
Paul added a caption expressing his sorrow and admiration for Mitte, noting the actor's resilience in facing challenges and recalling personal memories of their friendship. Other cast members, including Bryan Cranston, also posted tributes on social media, highlighting Mitte's determination despite living with cerebral palsy and expressing grief over his suicide.
The posts come amid broader conversations about mental-health awareness, with the actors urging anyone struggling to reach out for support.
