...in those adverts for Direct Line, where he plays Winston Wolfe, why does he do them? He can't be needing the money at 80. Same goes for Kevin Bacon in the EE adverts he's been doing for years. I quite like Kevin Bacon, but as an actor - I don't use EE though and his adverts aren't enough to make me switch from using 3.
I always think they are asked and just find it hard to say no, then someone recently name escapes me said they asked the company if they could work for them because they loved their ads and products.
Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins were pretty big when they made their ads years ago so it's not a new thing.
That brilliant baby girl who sings in the back seat of the car in the AA add. Surely she's a millionaire now and doesn't need the wonga. But secretly I hope she goes on for years wonderful she is.
Can anyone else find examples of big celebrities doing adverts? There is Elton John in that Snickers advert, too.
Oh I can't stand that advert with Elton John..they buggered it up at the start by Him saying 'what' twice..what what!..the last thing that fat cat needs is more money AND chocolate
