TGIF: Uma Thurman markets Schweppes in France May 27, 2011

Celebrities market products overseas all the time. It’s a great way to make some cash while cashing in on their popularity. Arnold Schwarzenegger crazily hawking some product in Japan is a favorite I posted two years ago here on the blog. This sexy ad featuring Uma Thurman is a Schweppes commercial that is currently airing on French TV. In the ad Ms. Thurman can’t stop huskily explaining her wanton desire to have Schweppes constantly, with anyone, anywhere. This kind of commercial would be accompanied by all kinds of protests by the prudes in the U.S. 🙂 Enjoy!

Hi Jill!
It also airs in movie theatres and I love this Schweppes ad. I think it’s really funny because it’s openly self-involved and provocative. Uma Thurman looks amazing in her vintage “starlette” clothing and plays the part very well 🙂
