Sean Connery is now Mr Louis Vuitton
Posted on 14. Oct, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising
At 78, thanks to a touch of Photoshop (no doubt) and a trained Annie Leibovitz lens, Sean Connery has still got it.
The original 007 is the new face of Louis Vuitton, following on from amongst others Keith Richards and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Connery, who recently turned 78, is pictured sitting on a rough
wooden landing stage on a beach near his home in the Bahamas with a
waterproof version of Louis Vuitton’s Keepall travel bag next to him.The
strapline for the ad, created by Ogilvy & Mather, reads: "There are
journeys that turn into legends. Bahamas islands, 10:07".
Not sure if this is a poor replica of the original pic, but Mr Connery’s hand does look rather odd in this shot. It’s almost as if they dragged and dropped the wrong sized appendage into the shot. Or maybe that’s just this morning’s strong Arabic kicking in.

Not intentional at all – but that’s how these crafty marketing folk work. They hit you with all this info before a launch to leave you very little choice.
We’re shaken – but hardly stirred.

Ha HA!
This reminds me of the “Mikes Hard Lemonade” commercials where they were trying to make the drink masculine.
Same thing here.
Now guys are supposed to be able to rock a Louis Vuitton bag?
Too funny
