Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul gave a van full of foreign tourists quite a surprise as they pulled up outside his Hollywood Hills home—he came out to say hi!

After Irishman Paul McNeieve, who was on the star tour with his family, spied the actor on his balcony and invited him down, the 33-year-old Paul took him up on the offer, left his villa and bounded down the steps to meet them, making their entire trip.

"What a cool guy," McNeieve wrote on his YouTube page where his video of the encounter has already racked up more than 1 million views since he posted it on Friday.

The actor shook hands with the entire clan, exchanged pleasantries and asked them about their vacation. He then told them that his family was in town for the final season premiere of his hit AMC series on Wednesday.

As for his spontaneous meet-and-greet with Hollywood tour buses that happen by, Paul explained that he enjoys popping down when he's around.

"Sometimes I see the van and sometimes I don't. And when I do I always try and say hello," he told them.

Aaron then hopped aboard to pose for some pics with the lucky passengers.

The tube star, who's won two Emmys for Best Supporting Actor for Breaking Bad, has been nominated again this year for his role as Walter White's meth-dealing sidekick Jesse Pinkman.

But it was only last week that Paul was forced to revisit his first acting gig when, during an appearance on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno couldn't resist springing a clip of him on (the original) Beverly Hills 90210 way back from the his appearance in a 1999 episode.

Aaron's come a long way since then—and certainly has the fans to show for it.
