So there it is, the new ad for Chanel No. 5 starring Brad Pitt. He's Mr. Jolie in real life, and ex-Mr. Aniston. I think, at one point, he actually acted. I think it borderline sucks really. He's talking to the bottle in case you didn't know. And for heaven's sake, if he's in a Chanel ad, how come he's dressed in an crumpled H&M shirt - or was Karl Lagerfeld too busy with his hula hoops!.... Oh, and Pitt got 7 Million Dollars for this. Go figure!
Let it be known that I also disliked severely the Nicole Kidman ad for No. 5, Audrey Tatou's movie was marginally better, but to get a real glimspe at what they used to do for the brand, look no further than the Riddley Scott directed "Share the fantasy" film:
Or, my personal favorite, the one with Carole Bouquet which still sends you drooling years after it was originally made.

Despite his talent and years of experience, he comes off as incredibly amateurish in this ad. The acting reeks of cheesiness that rivals that of Lebanese TV series.
Also, I think no matter how sexy you are, you can't really pull out a "greasy long hair + goatee + dreamy eyes" combo. You'd think the director has challenged himself to make the hottest man on earth look ugly.
