Bob Odenkirk CGI Deaged 14 Years To Look Like Younger Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman
Bob Odenkirk's career-defining Better Call Saul character Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill receives a 14-year de-aging treatment in a brand-new VFX video. The prequel/spin-off series to Breaking Bad first premiered in 2015. The story of Better Call Saul is set primarily in the early 2000s in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and follows Jimmy McGill's journey as an earnest lawyer and former con artist into the egocentric and unconventional criminal defense lawyer Saul Goodman. The series is currently airing its sixth and final season on AMC, with the series finale set to premiere later this month.
Better Call Saul saw multiple Breaking Bad actors reprise their roles. Aside from Odenkirk, who returned as the titular protagonist, the series also saw the return of Jonathan Banks and Giancarlo Esposito as Mike Ehrmantraut and Gus Fring, respectively. The latest season of Better Call Saul also guest-starred an iconic duo in the form of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. In recent months, independent visual effects artists have been utilizing the increasingly popular de-aging process on a number of characters from the show.
