The bagel ad gives me the rage too. I don't care what de Niro does, not my business. That particular advert is a send up of all the mafia and gangster films that made him who he is, he's bitten the hand that feeds him for a quick buck. He's got so much power he could say to Warburtons, yes I'll do your advert for mega bucks but I won't be pratting about in a pathetic re-enactment of Goodfellas out of respect to Scorcese, the fans and just his own self respect. There's hundreds of ways he could have flogged bread, instead of acting like he's in a sketch from Saturday Night Takeaway, what a sell out.
The car ad is fine though. It's quite funny and understated and he retains his dignity. He should have stuck to that.
