  • The 43-year-old actor from Breaking Bad has filed a legal petition to change his family’s last name and that of his 7-month-old son’s.

The 43-year-old actor from Breaking Bad has filed a legal petition to change his family’s last name and that of his 7-month-old son’s. Legal documents that TMZ got hold of show that the actor has changed his legal last name from Sturtevant to Paul. His wife, Lauren, is also changing her name, so that everyone in the family will have the same last name.

Also, their baby boy’s name is now officially Ryden Caspian Paul. In April, Jimmy Fallon used that name to introduce the baby on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, but Aaron and Lauren had already given him the legal name Casper Emerson Paul.

The former Westworld star has loved being a dad ever since his daughter Story Annabelle was born in 2018. He showed his emotional connection with Ryden right after he was born.

Paul told Jimmy Fallon, “His name is Ryden, and I love him.” He then said he was “exhausted” from being a new parent.

The actor also shared that his daughter was also “madly in love” with her baby brother.  “[She] can’t squeeze him enough. Like, lays on top of him, suffocates him,” he added with a laugh. “It’s her doll.”

Paul requested Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston to be the baby’s godfather. Paul joked, “I asked Bryan on his birthday if he would be our baby’s godfather.” Cranston originally declined. Paul said, “He’s delighted and honored.” “I adore him. He’s one of my closest pals, so it was obvious.”
