10 Adverts Featuring Film Stars That Didn't Actually Suck

1. Gary Oldman €“ AAAA

gary oldman aaaa This last one is not technically a genuine advert, but it is pretty darn funny and also kind of more serious than it makes out. Gary Oldman is an amazing actor, but he is also very vocal about the emerging trend of athletes venturing into the world of acting. This light hearted tirade highlights a key issue, but does so in a way that, if it were a conversation; would be immediately followed by an awkward pause, and then the phrase, €œbut in all seriousness, it is true.€ Oldman never ceases to demonstrate his tremendous versatility as an actor, and here we see a man with such comedic timing and presence that you almost forget he once made one of Cinema€™s most depressing biopics (Sid And Nancy). At the risk of gushing; it is hard to imagine another actor with such credibility and command of their craft, who could have stood there and made this video work in the same was as Oldman. Now if only Wrigleys would hire him to sell some chewing gum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIaWo-BlBjs

Part critic-part film maker, I have been living and breathing film ever since seeing 'Superman' at the tender age of five. Never one to mince my words, I believe in the honest and emotional reaction to film, rather than being arty or self important just for cred. Despite this, you will always hear me say the same thing - "its all opinion, so watch it and make your own." Follow me @iamBradWilliams
