Rather yummy picrture of Mr May there with the pint, I think he always looks good in that blue velvet jacket!  I can hear the people of the advertising agency discussing the photo shoot: "James, much as we love your stripey jumpers....." ;D |

This is the link to the YouTube channel of the ad agency: www.youtube.com/user/DCHITC#p/uWorth keeping an eye on over the next few days, as I guess they will post the commercials here as soon as they have been released.  |

His eyes are so blue, as though they've been photoshopped.. or is that just me? I like the fact that he's chosen to lend his personality to this campaign, it suits him. If only he'd come to my "local" and serve me a pint...  |

Very funny article from the local newspaper. James: “I love beer, I love London Pride and now, after this campaign, I’m hoping I can move into the brewery permanently and possibly even be adopted by the Fuller’s family. I’m not sure they’ll go for it, but it’s worth a try,” Brewery guy: "“He knows a good beer when he tastes one – London Pride is his local and favourite beer - so it wasn’t hard to persuade him to work with us. Although a couple of free pints and a pork pie did help.” www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=info&page=confullers042.htm |

No need for Photoshop; having met him a couple of times (at booksignings), I can confirm that they really are that blue! ;D I shall be interested to see these adverts when they are finally aired, although I suspect that seeing James in that context might take some getting used to. Also, while I can understand why his line is "This the one thing I'll walk somewhere for", I reckon it would have been just as good if they'd had him say 'run' instead of 'walk'. Knowing how he feels about running on TV, and all that! ;D |

Oh, to see for myself... ;D (and no, this is not a good before-breakfast pic, and not because of the beer, this pic belongs in the NC if you ask me..) |

Oh, to see for myself... ;D I suppose it would depend on the level and nature of the light, but when I saw him, the colour of his eyes could be easily discerned from several metres away. That's certainly not possible with everyone! |

Can't wait to see these adverts and that pic is so yummy .................. *THUD* What a fab new picture to return to after my holiday. James has done it again, turned me to a quivering jelly. Must head for the NC to read some of the comments that must have been made about this pic.
I always knew James and good taste, London Pride is one of my faves along with Speckled Hen.

Not only is that a good pic for us but I shared this story with a male friend who loves real ale and knows of my admiration for James and his very words were "and the picture is a good one too, he looks so at home with that pint" to which I replied "oh yes that pic has gone in my special collection" ....... "I bet it has" he replied............. *gulp* not sure what this says about my male friend!

I don't know if the ad campaign runs in the UK, but in the US there's a Mexican brand called "Dos Equis" whose ads feature "The Most Interesting Man in the World." Said Most Interesting Man is introduced with a list of improbable facts ("He's been Best Man for grooms he's never met." "He's never needed lip balm." "He once visited a psychic -- to warn her.") and ends with the Man himself delivering the tagline: "I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis."
What would James be if London Pride ran a similar campaign? The Most Polite Man in the World?

Yes!!! Thanks for posting, lindenchase! Where to start? The blue velvet, the eyes.. the voice... * puddle of goo * Also, I'd like to try a pint of that beer. But that's just because it's a highly effective commercial. Nothing to do with me lusting after James or anything. ;D |
