Resident Evil 4: 25 Mind-Blowing Things You Didn't Know

12. Ashley Graham's Face Model Was In The Commercial

Ashley's screams of "help!" as she is thrown over a Ganado's shoulder and marched towards the exit are one thing that many gamers could do without experiencing again. Well, for the Nintendo Wii version, it was apparently a selling point.

So much so that they got Ashley Graham herself to reprise her role for the commercial.

Not the voice actor Carolyn Lawrence (who you might also know as Spongebob's Sandy Cheeks), but Ashley's face model Brooke Elizabeth Mathieson. Aside from some incredibly awkward and cringy acting, the advertisement itself is pretty fun, with Ganados entering the real world to steal Mathieson away as her partner takes them down with a Wiimote.

The couple missed a trick by not having a dumpster in their front room to hide Ashley in.
