Cinnamon Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There is an ad on TV at the moment featuring Bruce Willis, Elle McPherson , Macauly Caulkin saying 'remember me' & then a chap, sort of heavy set & slightly Asian & fairly menacing looking saying 'recognise me' Now, I DO recognise him, but can't think where from & its driving me loopy Anyone have a clue who he is?

Richard T Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It sounds like the Norwich Union/Aviva adverts. The only other people I can think of who are in those ads are Alice Cooper and Ringo Starr (Peace & Love, Peace & Love ). Does that help?

Cinnamon Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well, I now know who its an ad for so I shall try & Google it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyfeet Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Think it's something to do with them changing their names, I think Bruce Willis says something about remembering the name Walter Willis, and the others mention their 'real' names too.

Guest Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 i haven't seen it but I wonder if it's gene simmons, will have to go and google as I'm intrigued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ahhh, when you say Asia you mean oriental, I found it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exADjCvxRHc no idea who he is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 No, its 100% NOT Gene Simmons, I would know him anywhere! And its not the name change ad either, but the one where Elle says 'Don't treat me like an idiot' & Maculy says 'Remember me' I have the feeling the chap is a bit part actor wo I have sen in something. He looks chinese or Japanese maybe, is very chunky & a bit scary looking He has somewhat of a Gangsta look about him.....................

bluekarin Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u91/SickBoyForum/Aviva-1.jpg I have been searching for ages. You'd think something would come up! But no. So I have emailed someone at Aviva marketing. So we shall see if they reply. (we really need a fingers crossed smiley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzle Knit Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I really don't get the Aviva ad when Ringo Starr says where would he be now if he hadn't changed his name. Like John lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison really lost out by not changing their names? Sorry, can't help you out on the unknown actor!

chickencam Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Has Bruce Willis has a hair transplant???? His baldness was part of his charm as far as I was concerned. We watched the first Die Hard film with ED the other week he had hair then too, he hasn'e changed his voice though I haven't a clue who the actor is either sorry.

bluekarin Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 This is the reply from Aviva, so maybe he looks like an actor we've all seen somewhere. I'm sure I have seen him in something before. Hi Karin, The LA guy is just a hired actor. His name in Chono if that helps. Thanks. Shane Is your hamster poorly? (sorry to change the subject) He was but he died last Friday The pic is of him when he was very fit and healthy and my ED put him in her bobble hat. He was so cute.
