British hunk Jason Statham is known mostly for his muscular, perpetually frowning characters he plays in action movies such as The Transporter, The Expendables and The Mechanic.
But, from April 1, and I ain’t fooling’ ya, we’ll get to know Stath’s softer side as the star of LG’s promo campaign for the launch of the G5. And it looks like a doozy!
LG says that the “high-flying, high-octane”Statham will play every character in the spot, which is scheduled to air from April 1.
That’s the date the LG G5 will go on sale globally; in the US, pre-orders are already open at the big four carriers and retailers like Best Buy.
LG already released two short clips, and in one of them Statham is virtually unrecognizable, dressed as a well to do lady enjoying brunch.
Oo-er!
It’s not clear how much dosh Jason was paid for starring in the commercial, but I can only imagine the amount of dollars it took for alpha male Stath’ to dress up as a bird!
I look forward to seeing the full commercial this Friday. Let’s hope Statham and director Fredrik Bond were able to deliver a funny and relatable clip for LG. Because, as HTC’s sad experience with Robert DowneyJr., showed us, no amount of star power can fix a bad idea!
Just saying’…
Good luck with this ad Stath’… But I prefer you as the hunk we all know and love!
