I did not predict the centaur twist at the end there. 🙂
Honestly I did not predict any of it, other than the abs.
Abs aren’t always guaranteed with AD tho; they put him in maternity pants in Star Wars!
Right, but we know he has them, and this is a fragrance commercial — it was not a long shot!
Swimming with horses is pretty dangerous – if you get ahead of them, they will try to crawl up on you, so he actually deserves a “Hero” designation for having the nerve to do this spot, I would say. Other than that, I just love all the witty people here at NST – this series of comments gave me a belly laugh! I wonder what the perfume smells like – seems to have lost track here somewhere….
I assume it’s a horsey marine fragrance…
LOL!
Vulture outdid us, though:
At Last, an Adam Driver You Can Truly Ride

1) I watched and participated in the production of films like this in undergrad, so the title of this post is dead on
2) I….
3) So what does a centuar smell like, anyways?
I take no credit, the title was stolen from the brand’s blurb at YouTube. It was like they hired a grad student to write it just for my purposes, ya know? In fact, pretty sure I read that paper as a grad student in history.
Adam Driver probably smells amazing all on his own.
It’s possible.
Definitely! See (the fascinating article that Robin posted on Monday): https://freebox.it.com/2021/07/26/similar-body-odor-prints/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
If it weren’t for the accompanying ‘music’ I’d have thought this was an ad for Hermès.
Hermes does like horses, but they don’t usually get celeb spokesmodels.
I … wait, what?
I don’t know what to say, except that I suppose it’s theoretically possible that something could induce me to try a fragrance fronted by Emo Kylo Ren, but this “‘Rode hard and put away wet’ is a metaphor, people” whatever-it-is is not that thing.
Based on the reaction on the interwebs, I think you are in the minority?
But reaction aka “buzz” is not sales, and whether getting Adam Driver to sell your fragrance helps as much as it costs, I cannot say.
Oh, no doubt I am. And I really don’t mean to disparage Mr. Driver personally. I’m sure he’s a person of great charm and worth. But I’d be the worst focus group EVER.
The chirpy music seems like a mismatch with the video. I’d bet the same could be said for the fragrance. ?
They seem to be wanting me to think about ‘The Hero’s Journey’ only it’s making me think of Peter Shaffer’s Equus… And that music doesn’t work with either. I’m baffled.
