I can’t remember if it was an advert for something but there was a man with long hair and eye make up and a cloak who was just standing there ? But I don’t remember a product ? Maybe I was distracted by him 😂😂 for some reason it popped into my mind today after reading a thread about adverts and I can’t for the life of me remember what it was for ? !

A Clockwork Orange? 1971 film but it was a popular poster and t-shirt in the 90s.

No this was an advert I’m sure ? But I just can’t remember anything else except the image of the man in it ? Can’t remember a product at all ? I just remember seeing it a lot in sure it was late 90s maybe 2000 but I’m positive I was 15/16 so that was 98/99

All I can recall is he was just standing there I think, with a cloak? I’m sure it was dark blue ? Or maybe was black but he definitely had a cloak and make up

Could it be the film V for Vendetta?

No it’s not that although maybe it was a trailer for something rather than an advert for a product?

My first thought was Gregor Fisher advertising Hamlet Cigars although that was dodgy hair rather than eyebrows

I now have the image of Lucius Malfoy in my head and it won't go away!

If you can't remember a product maybe it was one of those public safety announcements.

There were some pretty mad ones!!

NormaNormalPants · 19/09/2024 21:55

Immediate thought was the Atmosfear board game?

Chocolatecookiesandtea · 19/09/2024 21:57

None of these. I wish I could find it but googling what I remember isn’t showing anything either !!

Adam Ant and Dick Turpin spring to my mind 😆

Coruscations · 19/09/2024 22:02

Adam Adamant?

Talking of which, surely it's time for a remake?

This fella..? Beauty and the Beast.

I asked dm if she remembered and she said ‘I’m not sure what you’re talking about, was it something to do with Christmas?’ 😂I don’t think it was Christmas related but I do recall it was maybe oct/nov/dec time ?

Are you certain it was a man?

Yes definitely a man, but definitely had make up on

Was he on a beach?

ShinyPrettyThings87 · 19/09/2024 22:16

I also thought immediately of the guy from Atmosfear. It was a board game with a video and I think there were two different guys who played the gatekeeper.

No I just remember him standing there with his cloak and maybe there was a close up of his face ? It was slightly sinister I think but not scary. I don’t remember him talking or any voiceover or product / text ?

I’m not sure I don’t think so I remember a dark sort of background?

It wasn’t that game we had that and he wasnt the same (although I’m starting to think maybe I’m remembering something that was only in my mind 😂)
