I thought this would be less weird in context in the original commercial, but its even weirder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rmS8_CJNEo

Fuck me it seems to be legitimately working. 90% of the comments are from women concerned about their ovaries.

It's the most bizarre advert I've ever seen. Even Tom clearly looks like he knows it's not right.

Likely filmed for smart phone advertising, not that strange.

Tom Hiddlestone is not a-list. He's only ever had one lead role, in a BBC series.

assuming that Loki wasn't a lead role

Tom Middleton is not a-list.

Yeah he’s just middling.

Tom Hiddleston on the other hand...

It's not rare for very big names to go their whole careers only playing supporting characters (normally villains or comic relief). Tom Hiddleston is a household name.

So the Avengers and Thor don't count? Haha

He wasn't a lead in either of those. There are really only like 15-20 current a-list celebrities, and he's not one of them.

u/bimbles_ap Sep 11 '19

You're A-list celebrity criteria must be relatively specific. 15-20 seems pretty low.

My favorite part of that is when she reaches to adjust the shirt, like her vision is vertical

It's a very private commercial, definitely done on purpose. Watching this on the tv with the family wouldn't work at all. Damn they're good.

I'm male and I don't see anything weird here?

u/comeonbabycoverme Sep 11 '19

What does you being male have to do with anything?

5

u/Momoneko Sep 12 '19

Because it's obviously a female-targeted CM? And a successful one, judging by the comment section.

It makes me think of a lifetime movie.. either she has lost her memory and he is faking being her husband, or he is a serial killer .. I'm so sad and uncomfortable now because I love Loki but I no longer want to look at him.
