<P> Later, during a meeting between Gus, Juan Bolsa, and Hector, a furious Hector collapses . Gus performs CPR on Hector, saving his life . As Hector is taken away in an ambulance, Gus grows suspicious of Nacho, who had switched out Hector's heart medication to keep Hector from using Nacho's father's upholstery business as a front . </P> <P> Initially, Giancarlo Esposito was offered a character that was described to him as "very admirable, very polite", and he decided to play that character as if he had "some kind of a secret". Without knowing what that secret was, Esposito understood the potential Gus had as a growing character, therefore rejecting offers for guest appearances and insisting on becoming a series regular . To achieve Gus's trademark calmness, Esposito used yoga techniques, which allowed him to convey the character as "being a good listener". </P> <P> The humanity of Gus's personality played an integral role in his development, especially the very deep relationship with Max, which was interpreted by some viewers as possibly romantic . The loss of Max contributed to Gus's evolution into a ruthless criminal; he stops at nothing to avenge Max's death, including the gradual killing of Hector's entire family . The loss of Max also cultivated Gus's desire to create a new "family" by empowering his meth empire, as well as the chicken restaurants . Gilligan has stated that he decided against the show officially confirming or denying whether or not Max and Gus were lovers, but said they "probably were". In a 2014 interview, however, Esposito said, "I know he was married and had children, which we didn't show on the show . There was all this, you know, people talking about' Was he gay?' ' Was there a relationship with Max?' but I happen to believe that Gus was a very upstanding family man and knew how to raise children ." </P> <P> Moments before dying, Gus manages to calmly adjust his tie even after having half his face blown off . Esposito saw it as an important gesture of "when a person goes to what they've always done...to be complete in his leaving this world". Gus's death scene has had an impact on fans of the series, who compared his face to that of Two - Face as seen in the film The Dark Knight; some created Halloween masks and T - shirts . </P>
