A Virgin Atlantic passenger?

Buzzer3555 · 07/05/2023 14:57

I don't think she is anyone famous just representing a successful woman relaxing while travelling

CharlottenBerg · 07/05/2023 14:59

A Google image search shows pages about the ad campaign which say the pics are of charismatic-looking passengers.

HadEnoughOfBears · 07/05/2023 15:02

I think she look a bit like Jenny Eclair (with different hair) incase that's what you're thinking?

Butteredtoast55 · 07/05/2023 15:14

She might be Edna Mode from The Incredibles

MayBeeJuneSoon · 07/05/2023 15:15

Op I'm sure you mean well

But this thread won't go well!

MayBeeJuneSoon · 07/05/2023 15:15

Oh....and there we go!

I thought it was Esme Young

Not Esme. And it was a genuine question, I thought I recognised her from TV but clearly not. Thanks for the posters who actually tried to help!

I don't know who she is, but I think that the woman who pulls the face to the child looks very much like Melanie Chisholm, the Spice Girl.

BillyNighysWife · 07/05/2023 20:24

@HurdyGurdy19 I always think it looks like Mel C too, but I’m not sure it is. Perhaps all of the ‘passengers’ in the ad are deliberate lookalikes

knittingaddict · 07/05/2023 20:43

Thank goodness op. I've been wondering the same thing ever since it came out. I have even tried to search for a cast list on the internet with no luck. I'm sure I recognise the actress.

gettingolderbutcooler · 07/05/2023 21:36

Isabella Rossellini?

Here's another pic of the lady, alongside Richard Branson.

That’s fantastic!

No capes!

the80sweregreat · 08/05/2023 08:43

I thought the one pulling the face was Mel C as well , but it could be a 'lookie likey' as it doesn't entirely look like her !
No idea who the older lady is
The man who smiles at the girl who nearly falls over is very nice.
It is one of my favorite ads.

🤣🤣🤣

Nanaofdeagons · 18/07/2023 22:53

This is Francis de la Tour. British actress.

ElectricToothbrush · 18/07/2023 23:09

I've not seen the ad but her face looks like a slightly older Cher to me

Newnamehiwhodis · 18/07/2023 23:14

Looks like Isabella Rossellini to me

Tiredjoanna · 18/07/2023 23:19

Looks like a thin jo brand in a dawn french wig

Smoothiecarton · 18/07/2023 23:20

I thought it was that lady, she’s a poet , maybe a lesbian poet?
