AIBU to wonder why Graham Norton needs to do ads?

The guy is surely fairly minted by any national standard. He never stops working.

I just think, if you don’t need the money - why would you do ads? It’s not as dignified as all his well paid work, surely.

Maybe he is using the ad funds for some charitable endeavour. But I hate to see it when they don’t need to do it and I definitely think slightly less of him. Pure, weird greed.

Doing slightly shitty adverts is not a credible part of anyone’s career.

I wonder this every time I see George Clooney or David Beckham advertising something. It doesn’t bother me but I really do wonder why they do it!

Whenever you see the likes of Clooney or Beckham promoting something, you can bet your last pound it’s because they’ve invested in it.

I never thought of that. Interesting.

Adverts pay disproportionately well for the amount of work they are.

I know. I am all for people earning as much money as they want, and having side hustles and different projects. Advertising this stuff feels a bit demeaning for these people though, and I have second-hand embarrassment for them.

That’s literally nothing to do with this thread or my point, so you may as well stop responding to me!

I didn’t even notice the poster was the same username. As it’s a public forum, the best way to get someone to stop responding is to stop responding to them.
