Commercial Controversy

96 Comments

[Blind Gossip] This actor has been getting an earful from his pretty wife about a perceived career slight.

She is an actor, too, although he is ten times more famous than her.

She found out that they were casting a commercial promoting tourism in the country in which they live.

Basically, they were looking for celebrities to try to lure tourists to come visit their country.

She thought she would be a natural fit for the commercial. She saw herself getting filmed at the beach. Something to show off how fit she is and how the country is a great place for those who like an active, outdoors life.

It turns out that the sponsors wanted her husband… but they didn’t want her!

Why not? She is very attractive and would be happy to sing the country’s praises! However, as we mentioned, he is the bigger star. He was also born there. She is an import.

Long story short, the wife was so mad about being excluded… that the husband thought it best to turn down the commercial, too!

      Parade….ummm… do you even know who Chris Hemsworth is? Many actors would give their teeth to have a fraction of his career.

      @Parade – You must be one of those people where facts don’t matter. I would say Chris Hemsworth has one of the best careers in Hollywood. While I like him, I’m certainly not a “fan”, and I think he’s not wildly talented, he is one of the few actors who can do serious drama and comedy and he’s quite good at both. In this instance your nasty thoughts would have been better kept to yourself as Chris really does seem to be a nice guy, has done well for himself and has plenty of work coming…

    Elsa Pataky. Who better to promote traveling to Australia than a gorgeous Spanish woman who CHOSE to LIVE there? Who cares if she’s not native to the country. The sponsors should be thrilled to work with her and Chris. They missed the boat on that one.

      I think they definitely missed the mark too. Showing a local who’s a worldwide star and his wife who’s made the country her home and who are also raising a family there should’ve been seen as a no brainer. I get that she’s thirsty or whatever but that opportunity was actually the right one to go after.

    I’m gonna guess Chris Hemsworth & Elsa Pataky.

    Clues: related blind is about Kidman who is Australian. Also, she is quite fit and Australia has lots of beaches and is good for outdoor activities.

    I’ll guess Hemsworth/Pataky, with Australia as the country. It got plenty of international exposure from the Lara Bingle “So, where the bloody hell are ya?” campaign, but maybe having a foreign born person isn’t within their vision.

    Chris Hemsworth
    Elsa * ( seems to have a constant need for attention and wants to prove how young and beautiful she still is). She is pretty but seems so desperate. Always thought she is a terrible actress ( a wooden shows more emotion than her)I kinda feel sad for him.

    Probably chris helmsworth and elsa pataky promoting Australia tourism?
    If I was a sponsor and thought Chris was a good fit for the ad, I would add his wife in the ad too if that would mean Chris would be in it. For what its worth, she is pretty and fit so it wouldnt be a negative look in any way.

    Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Patacky (originally from Spain). Her reaction is ridiculous and he should have accepted the job. If he doesn’t, they should hire Margot Robby as an ambassador for Australia :).

    Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky for an Australia tourism commercial. It just aired in the Uk on Christmas Day and has Kylie Minogue and the presenter guy from The Last Leg.

    Chris Hemsworth and his wife?

    Optional: As shady as it sounds, agree to include her, film her, and then cut her part. Or maybe let her stand next to her husband.

    Chris Helmsworth and Elsa Pataky
    I think when they were first married, she was the bigger star (from Spain?). Now, he’s international and she can’t get a tourism commercial. That’s tough.

  87. Vampira says

    It’s funny how thirsty attention-seekers never stop trying to get in front of the cameras, even when they get older. Elsa Pataky is a perfect example of that, she’s just more annoying now.
