Jean Dujardin and George Clooney… round 2!
The two actors have indeed found themselves in a new advertisement for Nestlé capsules called “How far would you go for the unforgettable taste of a Nespresso coffee?
and they seem to have had a blast on set.
The sequence indeed makes very effective use of the stars' comic potential, by planting them in an apartment or a hotel (Parisian, obviously), in which they find themselves confronted with a terrible dilemma: there are two of them, and there is no more than a coffee capsule.
After a very burlesque struggle of a few seconds, the capsule falls and lands with Camille Cottin, who gives them back, before reminding them that it is important to recycle!
This indication is far from trivial since coffee capsules have already been denounced for their negative impact on the environment.
In addition, in 2020, a Channel 4 report in the United Kingdom revealed that some coffee farms in Guatemala where the brand was sourcing at the time were working children.
The presence of the actress from
Dix Pour Cent
is a great transaction for the brand, since the French star is increasingly in demand across the Atlantic.
Jean Dujardin appeared alongside George Clooney, who also sits on Nespresso's sustainability advisory board, to tout the coffee since 2014, two years after he won the Best Actor Oscar for
The Artist
.
“We had a lot of fun shooting this sequel.
Finding Jean is always a pleasure.
But this time around, having the brilliant Camille bringing her touch of sophistication to the set created the perfect dynamic.
With coffee taste and sustainability being at the heart of this ad, it was only natural for me to be part of this campaign with my Nespresso family,” George Clooney said in a press release.
Fruitful collaboration
A "pleasure" which also had to pay off big for the three stars.
The magazine Les Echos had revealed in 2014, during the first collaboration between the two actors, that George Clooney had already received 30 million dollars since the beginning of the advertisements “What Else?
with Nestlé in the 2000s, while Jean Dujardin would have a cachet estimated between 2 to 3 million dollars.
We do not know how much the actors were paid this time, but we understand without difficulty why they are delighted to find themselves!
“It was great to reunite with George on set and continue our friendly on-screen rivalry, but this time with the wonderful Camille to keep us in check.
Filming was high energy, with many comedic moments, on and off screen.
It all topped off with an endless supply of delicious coffee among friends, what more could you ask for?
“added the star of
Brice de Nice
in the press release, taking the trouble to add a” What Else?
very apropos.
