‘Breaking Bad’ Star Lavell Crawford — From Blue Meth to White Belt in Jiujitsu

EXCLUSIVE

“Breaking Terrible” is over, so Lavell Crawford has went onto breaking blocks … he’s taken up jiujitsu.

Crawford has been training at the Gracie Barra gym in Burbank, CA where the guy best known for playing Huell recently earned a stripe for his white belt. Hey, gotta start somewhere!

The gym’s title-holder — Alberto Crane (standing next to Crawford in the photo above) — tells TMZ Sports he’s been impressed with Crawford so far … saying most guys Crawford’s size can’t do what he does.

Crane says Crawford, who is also a standup comedian, has been keeping things light at the gym, telling us, “He is so much fun to work with. He cracks a ton of jokes, he’s a real amusing guy and a pleasure to have around.”

As for getting his first stripe, Crane says Crawford could not have been more excited: “He was pumped up. He said he couldn’t wait to brag to his son about his first stripe.”
