8. Producing An Oscar-Worthy Performance In That Chanel No.5 Advert
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGs4CjeJiJQ Remember this? Its probably a contentious one to be honest. For some reason the entire world fell out of its own behind immediately after this was aired. Brad simply turned up to film a Chanel advert looking a bit like Jesus Christ, muttered the word inevitable then wandered off with seven million dollars. Fair play to him really. Whats not to love about that? Well, loads if youre bull-faced Jabba-The-Hut-a-like Jan Moir from the Daily Mail, as she got spectacularly offended by it all. She penned a lengthy invective, deriding and disparaging the advert and Pitt himself with her usual self-aggrandising smarm seemingly oblivious to the fact that every Chanel commercial ever made is overly ridiculous and bewildering. Old Jan simply couldnt let it go, rounding on our loveable deity and proclaiming the end of his career with a pompous flick of her quill. And she was bang on the money too: the following year Pitt must have been devastated to see World War Z become the biggest box office success of his career then stagger on stage to collect an Oscar for producing 12 Years A Slave. As for the ad itself, the only inevitable thing about it was how dreamy he looked.
Chris James Peet says hello. His interests include hoping for the best and sitting in chairs. He much prefers moaning to counting his blessings and suffers fools gladly. He also likes to look out of the window and check what's in the fridge but he hates standing up, dripping taps and reality.
