*Skip Intro
*Skip Commercial with Japanese Actor
*Click on HUGH JACKMAN on the lower right-hand corner.

The video clips show the commercial itself ( showing Hugh on a rooftop, in a James Bond-ish type of scene, helicopter hovering on the side and then taking a big sip of ASAHI Beer). The video also includes a longish clip showing the Making of the Commercial.

This must have been a very recently-filmed ad, as he is shown in his newest short hairstyle. Maybe when he was in Asia for SNOW FLOWER and skipped over to Tokyo? I have read that ASAHI is supposedly the number one beer in Japan.

A lot of Hollywood A-listers have done Japanese TV ads, including Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

Hugh looks like the image of a very modern man

Doesn't he look extremely gorgeous in this ad? Don't know about you girls but this new haircut of his does make him look super sexy and youthful!

It was filmed in Los Angeles.

He looks absolutely beautiful.

What am I doing wrong? All I get is a mostly blank page with Japanese writing at the top. Then I clicked on menu and tried to click on Hugh's ad, but nothing happened.

The commercial is still there.

Try this link. http://www.asahibeer.co.jp/superdry/#/tvcm2010_h/ This link bypasses the menu and goes to the Hugh content.

It's Flash-heavy, so you have to give it a chance to load, and if you're still not getting anything, it's probably a Flash problem.

Thank, Kris -- I found it again when I reloaded it


Jo

Here's a tiny photo still --

He looks very dashing--which sprinting may come in handy if he drinks too many Lipton iced teas and especially Asahi beers, LOL.

Ellen

Wow fantastic how handsome can someone get-I do find it strange that Japanese would want a non Japanese for their commercial but he makes you drool!!!

The ad agency must have appealed to his sense of competition.

Just so long as he doesn't end up like poor Bob Harris (the Bill Murray character) in "Lost in Translation"

That took me to the same place as the other link, but I finally got it to work!

He's looking VERY dapper!!!!
