“There’s more to life than making films” Pierce Brosnan tells us.

Yeah, like riding horses, looking moodily into a camera, and playing snooker.

Or best of all making adverts!

I don’t know if you know it but Pierce Brosnan is a very lucky man (have you heard of the luck of the Irish?).

He’s not only one of the lucky few actors to utter those words forever immortalised in film “The name’s Bond. James Bond.” (although I’ve always felt that he sounds every slightly constipated when he says them), he’s also now uttered the lines that so many other Hollywood A-Listers dream of saying:

“You’re worth it”

Here’s him saying it in Foreign:

(Note to self: Find out if Brosnan always has the same foreign man dub his voice so foreign people actually think that’s what he sounds like.)

Or more to the point, to L’Oreal paying for Brosnan to appear in their adverts is more than worth it.

My favourite part is when Brosnan gives us the apocalyptic warning (and very clever play on words) that the future of our skin is in our hands. This fact – that you apply face cream to your face with your hands – is well known to most of us without shit for brains and is also why Brosnan doesn’t try to send the fear of God into us with the claim that “The future of your skin is on your elbows but you will never be able to rub it on your face”.

My second favourite bit is when he laughs maniacally at a sickeningly ugly man with cream on his elbows whilst burning the big wodge of 50’s he got from L’Oreal and shagging a super model.

No, hang on, that doesn’t happen. That’s just my extreme envy of Brosnan’s rugged good looks and charming smile exposing itself.

In reality, I’m so concerned about the future of my skin that I’ve had it flayed off and turned into a beautiful suit of leather down at the local tannery. It fits like a glove (particularly around the hands), I’ve a wonderfully rich, permanent tan and it will never again wrinkle or crease.

Although it may occasionally stain or crack if not treated with leather cream every so often, so was it really worth it?

Anyways, what I meant to say was: skin cream for men, huh, the same pointless, impossible-to-prove-if-it-really-does-anything-for-you, shit as skin cream for women but a little bit more expensive as only a handful (albeit growing handful) or men are a) gullible enough to buy it b) wealthy enough to buy it.

So I say, forget the face cream and get so character giving lines on your face.

After all: “You’ve earned it”.
