Breaking Bad” premiered 10 years ago — and if you can’t believe that, you’re not alone. Aaron Paul expressed his disbelief that the revered drama is a decade old while talking with Jimmy Fallon last night. He then discussed two of the show’s biggest fans: Drake and Rihanna, both of whom got out of cars specifically to meet him. Watch below, but be prepared for minor disappointment: Paul never punctuates his anecdote with a well-timed “bitch!”

“We randomly met in Paris in a parking garage,” the actor says of Drake. “I got out of my car — as one would — and he was with a bunch of people getting ready to get into a van. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, there’s Drake!’ And then he just looks at me and runs over and just gives me the biggest hug and told me that he loved me. It was great — it was a great moment between us.”

That wasn’t all, of course. “He told me that he got Rihanna into the show, which, I love Rihanna. And then Rihanna was driving by me — different parking garage — I was just at some event and an SVU was driving by me and it stops, and the back door opens and it’s Rihanna and she jumps out. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, there’s Rihanna,’ and she starts literally running towards me. I’m like, ‘She can’t me running towards me, you know?’ And then she threw her arms around me and said, ‘I had to meet you, I needed proof of this.’ And then paparazzi took some pictures of us, and my life was made.”

Lest you doubt Paul’s story, Rihanna herself memorialized the event on Twitter:
