The recently announced "Star Wars" standalone movie focusing on Han Solo may have found its lead actor. Following the official announcement made by Lucasfilm that Chris Miller and Phil Lord would direct the project, Aaron Paul has seemingly confirmed long-running rumors about his casting as Han Solo.

The actor, best known for his role as Jesse Pinkman on AMC's "Breaking Bad", just posted on his Instagram a picture of the "Star Wars" official Twitter profile along with a caption which read, "My dreams are coming true. #StarWars." He, however, didn't mention whether he's excited about the movie being in the works or his involvement in the project. It's also unclear which "Star Wars" movie he referred to in the Instagram post.

My dreams are coming true. #StarWars
