Yes, I saw that also and wanted to post it. He really knows how to cry, I was even wondering, since the crying is a crucial scene, that the casting of him was because of his ability to cry. however, i was rather disappointed of the lack of crying from Josh Hartnett character, although he should have, considered what he went trough. 

I'm fairly certain if it was not for this man I would have never learned the word dacryphilia or that anyone else was like me. 🙌

Ella, are you here because of that one youtube video just called 'Jesse crying' where Walt finds him in the flop house?

That scene, yes, but not from YouTube. I was binge watching the series for the first time in 2015 and that scene came on and rocked my world, so to speak. 😂 I wasn't expecting it and after I had such a strong (also physical) reaction to it I started doing some googling to figure out just wtf was wrong with me and i found this board

It's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqDsugfu8M0&pp=ygUMamVzc2UgY3J5aW5n

Yep that's the scene. Nearly perfect. Interestingly he cries equally well earlier in the episode, and I enjoy that too, but this one hits different. For some reason first time I saw it, it was less expected, plus the comforting helps the overall effect

(The ricin cigarette scene is also awesome)

I also like unexpected crying scenes. They really 'hit' me like no other . I can see what you're saying about this scene. There's a little build-up just before he bursts into tears and up to that point it is not very clear he is going to crack necessarily. And then when the camera pans to his face again( after he wipes his eyes)  tears already spring from both of his eyes, and his whole face convulses in crying. That makes the crying all the more powerful, even if it doesn't last too long.
