to ask who this is?

[MrsFezziwig]

In the Virgin Atlantic ad

Yes! That’s who I see when the ad comes on.

Did you think it was the civil servants from the thick of it?

I thought it was Esme

I thought she looked like Anita Manning

She always looks so serene and relaxed.

If they are lookalikes, they are very good.
However lots of mis identifications in this thread.

Sic transit gloria mundi ! NOT Richard Branson - Jeremy Corbyn (previous Labour leader UK) Next to him is MP Diane Abbott.
No wonder the internet is a mess these days. Best place to check out actual FACTS is Wikipedia.

... whoosh ... and there goes the joke

I think you missed the point! That comment was clearly a joke.

More on the Virgin ad people / lookalikes (?)
The girl who trips up is Eleanor Tomlinson from TV series The Outlaws.
This is a good memory test !

I really would like to know what the joke is. ?

Yes I've noticed her on another advert, so they can't all be Virgin employees.

I like the longing look across the travellator!

You missed the joke and are wrong about Wikipedia too. Here's what one of the founding members said about it's reliability.

oh dear 😂

my partner worked on the concept for this ad and Virgin told him they had an employee who looked like Prince who would be in it. Didn’t believe them til we saw it aired. He really does.

I really like the ad.

Wikipedia is the worst place to check out actual facts. We’re banned from using it in my job.

This is Francis de la Tour. British actress.

No - not Frances de la Tour. She's one of my favourite actors and - absolutely no negative intended, but she's older than this lady.

I think, as others have said, these are not 'known' actors - the point is that they represent types and this lady is portraying an older woman who's successful business person.

Also, big names like Frances de la Tour don't play bit parts in ads - they'd be the star!

This picture is driving me nuts as well.
I'm sure she's a well known actress.

It looks like Hattie off of NCIS LA 😉😉

Henrietta Lange...

I had seen this so many times whilst watching NOW tv. I thought the man with the bangles looks a good fit for Samuel L Jackson

Looks like Diane Abbott and Jeremy corbyn

You know the Corbyn picture was a joke right?

and you might want to slide quietly down from your high horse since your stated fact that it’s Frances de la Tour is so hilariously wide of the mark it’s untrue. Or were you joking too?

😂

The wrong photo ^

The man with the bangles is Ru Paul....i know a woman who looks very like the older woman at the end of the ad..her name is Deborah Sanderson....i could be wrong. Uaed to be in a band in the 80s called Winterbabies...i think...and is an artist and an author. She passed away last year...or the year prior . I could be mistaken , but this lady looks very much like her. 🙂

There's Prince and Sinead O'connor lookalikes 🤷🏼‍♂️
