Ok, don't get this. If it's not George and Matt advertising nespresso, why's it in the thread about George and Matt's nespresso adverts?

This really is a cute ad

I'll make a new thread.

Oh thanks for the videos. Those a great fun. I love the bird HAHA

But really have to get used to this advertisement. George and beer...that is something I can't match LOL

by melbert Sat 01 Mar 2014, 16:07

George has drank beer for years Nicky and used to do voice overs for Budweiser beer.

by Katiedot Sat 01 Mar 2014, 16:31

Awww, the bird pooped on him! And he was nice enough to say that the beer was very good and he enjoyed drinking it, all day long!

by Butterfly Sat 01 Mar 2014, 18:01

I like this video! Very Happy

And especially the cheerful song, kind of childish and innocent. Very cute sunny

by LornaDoone Sat 01 Mar 2014, 21:56

Cute thanks for finding and posting. Get to see things here that obviously we would never see in the US since George doesn't do adverts here.

And I like the song too.

by Atalante Sat 01 Mar 2014, 22:21

How's the radiation over there ? Very Happy

by LornaDoone Sat 01 Mar 2014, 22:27

Sigh. Never anything good to say.

by ktsue2002 Sat 01 Mar 2014, 22:31

I swear the man gets better looking everyday.

by LizzyNY Sat 01 Mar 2014, 23:08

Absolutely, Ktsue!
PAN - Thanks for posting. Both videos are just so much fun - so cute.
Nicky - Even though we mostly see him drinking tequila or vodka, ALL American men love beer. At least I never met one who didn't!

I forget which movie George was doing; but he loved beer so much he had them set up a keg of tap beer in his trailer. Melbert might remember. xxx

by melbert Sun 02 Mar 2014, 01:01

He had one on the Ocean's sets, but I'm sure that was a requirement in his contracts for most films... Drink 3

Most likely right. When a man's thirsty he needs a drink.

It that case the role to convince the world of his acting ability would be
a bio-pic of a recent Pope ?

lol!

by Nicky80 Sun 02 Mar 2014, 10:51

I hope he tried a lot of German beer while he was here Drink 3

George Clooney appears in Kirin beer ad, sounds a bit like Batman when he speaks Japanese

As we’ve seen before, Hollywood stars who ordinarily wouldn’t be seen dead in a commercial in their homeland for fear of damaging their reputation as a serious actor aren’t quite so shy when it comes to commercials in Japan. With Japanese companies eager to push stacks of cash stars’ way in exchange for endorsing their products, occasionally a big-name actor will pop up on billboards over the famous Shibuya scramble intersectionand on primetime TV.
This week, smirking silver fox George Clooney follows in Leonardo DiCaprio‘s footsteps by lending his face to a Japanese commercial, in this case one for Kirin Brewery Company’s Green Label brand of beer. Clooney is no stranger to ads even at home, but Kirin’s commercial – which sees the actor painting a house and communicating with a small bird – is kind of an odd one, partly because it doesn’t have an awful lot to do with beer, and partly because, to our ears at least, Clooney appears to be channeling Christian Bale’s Batman for his single word of Japanese dialogue.

We open in an idyllic green field. A man wearing a white shirt is carrying a tin of paint and a brush up a ladder, which is propped up against the side of a one-storey shack. The shack itself is white, its roof dark green apart from a single remaining white spot. Despite wearing the worst possible clothing for the task, the man is clearly painting.

Close up. The man is none other than George Clooney, everyone’s favourite middle-aged American actor and go-to guy for any role whose script calls for “handsome man who is cheeky but ultimately likeable and always keeps his cool in life-threatening situations”. George is painting his roof and whistling. Life, clearly, is wonderful.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Suddenly, a small bird lands on his freshly painted roof, leaving tiny imprints in the paint behind it. George, being the hero that he is, resists the urge to immediately smash the bird with his fist to take revenge for it spoiling his stellar paint job.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Instead, he seems amused, and beckons to the bird.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Who dutifully flutters over to him and lands on his left shoulder. George smiles, giving us a chance to see his pearly white teeth.

Cut to a shot of cans of beer. They are also white and green, thus establishing the entire point of the commercial. Possibly.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
George drinks from a can of the same beer. A reminder tells pregnant and breastfeeding women not to imbibe alcohol.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
George then notices that there are small green footprints left on his shoulder. Once again, this amuses him. This man has not a drop of hatred or rage in his entire body.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Wide shot. With the rolling hills visible, George channels Christian Bale portraying Batman and says “kimochii” (feels good) in an especially gravelly voice.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Here’s the commercial in full. Be sure to turn your speakers up, close your eyes, and imagine Batman’s face at around the 11-second mark.

Man, does anyone else feel like sitting down to watch The Dark Knight with a nice, low-carb beer all of a sudden?
