I can only imagine that he was paid a LOT of money to sell out this badly. My insides are actually shrivelling with embarrassment for him.

Agree wave was pretty crap

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 31/03/2019 22:22

I don't get the ad?

Tbf, I would do any old shit like that if I was going to get paid a fuck load of money too - Fair play to him!

JasperRising · 31/03/2019 22:22

I also saw the amusing Guardian review of it: www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/film/2019/mar/28/tom-hiddleston-breakfast-multivitamins-chinese-centrum-food-supplements

Definitely creepy...

Mrsjayy · 31/03/2019 22:24

Oh god it actually makes you want to find covers to hide under why TOM why Grin i

ts a chinese advert that is maybe a chinese breakfast ?

Mrsjayy · 31/03/2019 22:25

It reminds me whe joey off Friends did the lipstick for men advert

ILoveMaxiBondi · 31/03/2019 22:27
Shock

Fucking hell that was weird.

Why was he sitting down to watch her eat? Creepy!

And yes. Tiny hands fixing collar!

Mrsjayy · 31/03/2019 22:30

He looks smug like he gave her a good night but he he just looks a creepyvfecker

olderthanyouthink · 31/03/2019 22:31

Make me feel so short! I know East Asian people are on average shorter and he is tall but he seems looming

Ribbonsonabox · 31/03/2019 22:34

I'm glad someone started a thread about this because it's truly hilarious... but I couldn't bring myself to start one about it because I do feel kind of sorry for the man.... I guess he must have got paid A LOT for doing that so I should be able to laugh without guilt.... but he keeps getting the piss ripped put of him every few months for something and I feel kinda bad.....

But oh God, that advert is so creepy... what in the absolute fuck were they thinking?!?

Persimmonn · 31/03/2019 22:36

When he’s watching her eat, its like he’s poisoned it and ready to watch her pop her clogs 😆

M3lon · 31/03/2019 22:44

Absolutely LOVE the pisstake!

Cherrysoup · 31/03/2019 22:54

Oh my! I have not cringed so hard for some time! Ick! Why does he have a mullet?!

JustHereForThePooStories · 31/03/2019 23:06

Made me think of John in Dirty John!

Same! I’m still not convinced those vitamins smoothies weren’t poisoned.

The fact that the woman doesn’t talk throughout the ad is very unnerving.

EnidButton · 01/04/2019 03:06

Chopped veg Tom? Chopped bloody veg?
I want to eat it not post it on instagram.

This is worse than that time you popped over to pose awkwardly in your pants.

WeaselKingHenry · 01/04/2019 06:45

misses main thrust of discussion about this being creepy as, but

I think the ‘finished early and busy for a few weeks’ parts are Night Manager spy type references.

He’s just come off the night shift at the hotel (hence the suit etc) but he knows he’s going to be all John Le Carre/James Bond for the next few weeks so pops by to say bye.

Does not make it a good advert.

Oh, and any man who basically decides I need medicating and forces vitamins on me without any discussion or decision by me at all is a twit.

colehawlins · 01/04/2019 07:02

All Chinese adverts would probably look odd to us, but yes, it's deeply weird.

sagradafamiliar · 01/04/2019 09:38

'I finished early' 😂😂
I've never actually felt embarrassed watching something before. That is some visceral-level god-awful weirdness!

DobbinsVeil · 01/04/2019 09:54

I like his pinny, very All Bar One. It's not quite the Jaguar ads he did, but not as alarming as the posing with dogs either.

I'm now in love with Phil Wang!

It was the tiny hands from a tiny person that was the worst part for me.

Thanks for sharing OP. Spluttered my breakfast because of this.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/04/2019 10:32

'I finished early'

I think you can get something for that...

It was the tiny hands from a tiny person that was the worst part for me.

I expect they were meant to be the petite woman who finished the ad, but I clocked them as a child and of course thought no way would a kid eat that plate of food ... (ok, now those of you whose kids happily scoff raw veg topped with runny eggs can have a free stealth boast...Grin)

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 01/04/2019 10:38

Oh my god. That is hilarious!

bsc · 01/04/2019 10:42

I think the hair is for his current play?

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 01/04/2019 10:43

Is he supposed to have shagged her? The goodbye is more like he's taking leave of an elderly aunt. And why does she need a multivitamin if she's eating that breakfast? Surely that's her 5 a day right there?

Wft is with the shoes on that dog pic?

Sorry, lots of questions raised by all of this.

lrh3891 · 01/04/2019 10:56

Oh god. I just laughed out loud and at length at that pisstake. Very very good.
