'Went to visit the Legendary #VinceGilligan yesterday after I landed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. @BreakingBad_AMC,' Daniel captioned the Twitter snap of the pair.

He is seen staring stony-faced at the camera as he stands next to Gilligan, who gives a warm smile while placing his arm around Daniel's shoulders.

Daniel and his twin played ruthless killers Leonel and Marco Salamanca, known as 'the cousins', who barely said a word on Breaking Bad.
