Antonio Banderas Doing Ad For Chuddy?!

[Halifaxmum]

Hi all

I've just seen the new ad for Extra chewing gum with Antonio Banderas. Blimey, he must've pissed off everyone in Hollywood to have to resort to doing that for money!?!

I wonder how much he'd get paid for it?

Any ideas?

no idea, but i often wonder why the top celebs do ads, Brad Pitt's latest effort was dire..

For the money, of course. It used to be the case that such ads were for the Japanese market and never seen in the West, but times are hard nowadays!

Japander: n.,& v.t. a western star who uses his or her fame to make large sums of money in a short time by advertising products in Japan that they would probably never use.
