So Brad Pitt sold out and he's now doing commercials for Chanel No. 5!

Eh, not sure if I agree. If the brand is prestigious enough that it raises rather than lowers your profile then it's a good move.

1. A professional actor being paid for a role is not 'selling out'.
2. This isn't even new. It's so not new there's already a list of the top 10 parodies of the ad.

As if 99% of the people on this board wouldn't do the same for the amount of $ the guy got. Yeesh.

Exactly. It's not "selling out." It's his job.

If that's called 'Selling Out' then please sign me up!

A major actor in a promotional film, tastefully done, memorable and meeting of your conditions.

Well done!​

He's primarily an actor but he's not acting, he's promoting a woman's perfume, one of the most famous and expensive at that. The commercial is in black and white and I've seen it on TV several times already. Maybe it's not selling out but the first time I saw it, it caught me by surprise. Is the message to women saying that if they use Chanel No.5 they'll catch a man like Brat Pitt?

No woman in Toronto would want him, he'd have to be a doctor as well.
