Talk about the power of an acceptance speech!

As Aaron Paul celebrated his third Emmy award for his role as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, the beloved actor couldn't help but gush about wife, Lauren Parsekian Paul, and her very important cause.

"To my wife, my God, thank you for marrying me," Aaron shared during his powerful speech. "Thank you for dedicating your life to spread kindness across the world. We all appreciate it."

He added, "If you guys don't know what she does, look up 'Kind Campaign.' Do yourself and your children a favor: Kind Campaign."

Turns out thousands of viewers followed the actor's advice and rushed to the nonprofit's official website. As a result, the site completely crashed!

"So happy to see The Kind Campaign's website crashed due to Aaron Paul's shout out for his wife," one Twitter user shared Monday night. "That's true love right there. #Emmys"

The Kind Campaign is a nonprofit that brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl bullying.

Before his inspiring speech, Aaron chatted with Giuliana Rancic about how his career first began. Turns out the Breaking Bad star got a big break in a cereal ad! 

"One of my first jobs was a Kellogg's Corn Pops commercial," he told E! News. "'Gotta have my Pops!' I got to say that line, it was very exciting."

His wife couldn't help but add, "It was a good performance."

Could these two be any sweeter?! We'll take that as a no! 

Tune in tonight at 8 p.m. for a special VMA and Emmys edition of Fashion Police!
