Don’t expect to see Aaron Paul hanging out at Barbie’s Malibu Dream House anytime soon.

The former “Breaking Bad” star, who played apprentice Jesse Pinkman to Bryan Cranston‘s Walter White on the AMC drama, has weighed in on the flap over action figures depicting the show’s characters, which were pulled from the shelves of Toys R Us stores earlier this week after a Florida mother launched an online petition.

Paul weighed in on the controversy on his Twitter account on Thursday, suggesting that Barbie dolls, a decades-long favorite of young girls, are more harmful than a figurine ofย  gun-clutching meth baron White.
