Aaron Paul recently chatted about NME.com about his career, "Westworld," "Breaking Bad" and his love for Nirvana.

The actor revealed that he would be interested in playing Kurt Cobain in a Nirvana biopic.

Paul was asked if there are any other idols he would be interested in playing, following his role as 'Weird Al' Yankovic in Funny or Die's "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story".

"When I first moved to LA, I thought quite a bit about Kurt Cobain and what happened and I just love Nirvana," Paul said. "'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was one of the first records I bought with my own money, so I've thought that could be interesting [to play Cobain]."

"I'm madly in love. I have a beautiful baby girl. I have a job on a series I love and it's a beautiful thing. I started a mezcal company with one of my best friends. I'm in a very happy place."
