Bob Odenkirk made this movie to impress his ‘SNL’ buddies

Bob Odenkirk is breaking bad.

The “Better Call Saul” star has revealed that he only made the 2021 action movie “Nobody” because he wanted to impress his former “Saturday Night Live” colleagues.

“I thought of you guys often when I was exercising and thinking that’s just a reason to be doing this is if I could pull it off,” Odenkirk, 62, told Conan O’Brien during the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast this week.

“That would blow my friends’ minds,” he added.

While Odenkirk name-dropped O’Brien, Robert Smigel and Adam Sandler as some of the buddies he wanted to impress, the “Breaking Bad” actor also included comedian David Spade specifically.

“I kept thinking about Spade, I don’t know why,” Odenkirk, who was a writer on “SNL” from 1987 to 1991, laughed. “He would go see it and go like, ‘What the f–k?’”

Meanwhile, O’Brien recalled how Odenkirk told him about “Nobody” shortly before the film premiered four years ago.

Although the “Late Night” host didn’t think too much of it at the time, he was quickly impressed by Odenkirk’s surprising performance.

“When it came out, I was just, ‘Oh, he’s so good at this,’” O’Brien shared.

The comedian was so impacted that he asked Odenkirk for a cameo in the movie’s sequel, which hit theaters Friday, Aug. 15.

Even though O’Brien did not make the cut for “Nobody 2,” he is hoping Odenkirk releases a third film so he can land a small role.

“I just want to be beaten,” O’Brien joked. “I want someone to beat the s–t out of me.”

“Nobody” stars Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, a retired assassin-turned-family man who must return to his former life after his family becomes the target of an unforgiving crime lord. 

The film’s sequel reportedly picks up shortly after the events of the first movie, and Odenkirk’s character takes his family on a much-needed vacation.

However, they soon find themselves in the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator, a shady sheriff and a bloodthirsty crime boss, and Hutch must once again save his family from the danger.

While the sequel only just hit theaters, Odenkirk still teased the possibility of a third “Nobody” movie on Thursday during an interview with the Associated Press.

The two-time Emmy-winner said that he would like to make a third film that ends with his character having nothing left.

“Yeah, the moral would be that everything he loves is gone,” Odenkirk told the outlet. “He burned everything he loved.”

“We let him get away with it because the movie is an entertainment, and it’s meant to tell you: Yes, you can let go of your rage in this magical world,” the “Glengarry Glen Ross” Broadway star continued. “But in the end, I would think that it’s an addiction. And he does want to do it. He does want to have a go, and so does every guy.”

“That’s why we have movies,” Odenkirk concluded. “And that’s why we have boxing matches.”
