Aaron Paul and his wife Lauren left Los Angeles for Paris in the wake of the devastating wildfires that destroyed an entire city.
“When the fires broke out in Los Angeles, we knew we were done with Los Angeles, so we sold our house in Los Angeles and moved to Paris,” the “Breaking Bad” alum told the Daily Mail at Friday’s F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix event.
“Paris is amazing,” he told the outlet. Aaron, 46, said he could only say a few things in French, including “bonjour.”
“I went out for the kids,” Aaron said, referring to his children Story Annabelle, 7, and Raiden Caspian, 3. Aaron added that he and Lauren, 38, had “always dreamed of working overseas for a year.”
“We always wanted to be near completely different cultures,” the actor said.
He told the outlet that his family enjoyed the City of Lights so much that they are considering extending their stay for another year.
The couple, who got engaged in Paris in 2012 and married in a Paris-themed Malibu wedding in 2013, put their Los Feliz home in Los Angeles on the market in July.
According to People, the $10 million Spanish-style property, previously owned by A-listers like Tim Curry, Robert Pattinson and Jim Parsons, features a free-form pool, outdoor fireplace, amphitheater and koi pond.
In January, a series of wildfires broke out in Los Angeles, particularly in the Palisades and Eaton areas, affecting much of Hollywood’s elite.
At the time, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency and more than 100,000 Los Angeles residents were evacuated from their homes.
Among those affected was Paris Hilton, whose Malibu beachfront estate was destroyed.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Heidi Klum, Anna Faris, Miles and Kelly Teller, Anthony Hopkins and Eugene Levy all also lost their Pacific Palisades homes.
Others, including Britney Spears, were forced to temporarily evacuate their luxury mansions amid the chaos.
