Brad Pitt is Chanel No. 5's new face

[HeatherAnne]

I don't really see what he stands to gain from this, other than money (which he shouldn't need more of). So, so, random... and lame, on his part.

 

[Srdjan]

maybe not with angelina, but probably with a female (i imagine it something like they are hugging or similar)

daily ridiculous

Maybe he'll have Chanel donate his salary to charity. That would be nice. And also a bit surprising since Karl doesn't really seem like the most charitable type. Or maybe Brad's being paid in Chanel bags for Angie and the girls.

Assuming it's something like Brad walking around and reminiscing about a love of his who wore Chanel 5, it might catch the attention of men who end up purchasing the perfume for their woman. More money.

But I hope it's Brad taking bubble baths and winking at men before mysteriously running off into the night

Which would be almost as ludicrous as Angelina shooting a luxury Louis Vuitton campaign in Cambodia... almost.

am not sure about this one No5 is one of those iconic brands

 

[justaguy]

This might actually be surprisingly good.... At least I hope so.

with all the gender bending that karl has embarked on at the house of chanel, this commercial could go in any number of directions. three months ago, i couldn't have imagined riccardo tisci, gaspard ulliel, or kanye west looking good in a little black jacket either.

Here's a preview of things to come, from Chanel's channel on YouTube:

What is up with those questions? It's making me question my life and get depressed as hell

The video version better be accompanied by some eye sexing the camera

ETA: okay, after a few more listens this is starting get hilarious. I hope they're aiming for a siri-like app with those voice recordings where you get a chance to know what it's like to have a conversation with Brad Pitt

I don't understand this. Chanel Number 5 has had some of the most amazing ad campaigns. The ones with Nicole Kidman and Audrey Tatou were pieces of cinematic art. Chanel has always been about woman. She liberated women. This fragrance is meant to make the woman in control, to entice the man. The Number Five woman has always been about independence, and with Brad Pitt (who frankly is not aging well what-so-ever, his skin is disgusting thanks to his smoking) it feels like they're putting the man in charge of the woman. With the Marilyn Monroe advertisement she says the only thing she wears to bed is a drop of Number Five, it made the man want her.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

I really don not understan why chanel choose him

 

[adorefaith]

This is really poorly done so far... those little teasers just sound ridiculous.

 

[marietitta]

HE?? whyy??? and.. what about those questions?..

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Brad Pitt voiced satnav.. by Chanel?

That is so cheesy.. I can't believe that he's the face. It's just so tacky. And the way he's portraying this "deep, meaningful" man just makes him look like an absolute d*uche. I can't believe they picked him. They had such beautiful masterpieces for the chanel number five campaigns. The Nicole Kidman, even though I don't like her, the movie for her was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And the same goes for Audrey Tatou's. But this is a mess.
