Making off video

OMG, that was fast!

Looks like it's gonna be super cheesy, but I'm cannot help but exited to see Hugh dancing.

Is it wrong to wonder if they'll also include moments of him dancing all through the kitchen in the final clip? I'd love to see him dance over, around or even on the kitchen counters...

Looks fab to me. Great look, great moves. I never dreamed we'd get so much of him dancing. I'm very excited.

Not sure what to think yet. That kitchen stuff threw me off. I guess somehow it segues to the beach with the model. But hey, he's dancing! Great find!

The video of Hugh on the beach shows him kissing the woman and walking away quickly. Now that I see the dance portion I guess it might be all linked.

I loved what I saw, omg like Joan, I never thought I'd ever have the opportunity to see him dancing so much, so hotly/smoothly.

Wonder if he'll sing in that commercial too...

I think so, I mean he HAS to right??? I'm actually quite excited about this!

Oooh, much more exciting than the Hugh-less Golden Globes tonight. Love the little pivot on the chair. Maybe he'll also lead a conga line through the kitchen?

OK, I would never believe that I will be excited over the commercial but this looks great. I always wanted to see Hugh dance like this - I never really saw Hugh dancing except the Oscars and TBFO.
Now I hope this commercial will be here. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
When I told my friend that Hugh is doing a commercial, she said - "Great, now I can´t go to the bathroom during a commercial break" [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Love his moves.

Is it sad that I genuinely just went "IEEEE!" when he started dancing in the lobby?

And was it good or bad "IEEE"? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Oh, it was a good squeal. Definitely a good squeal.

I am at work (sitting in the reception) and with the sound off, I keep watching it [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] It made my day. And it´s just a commercial but I am glad he can show his dancing skills somewhere. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Plus, he looks so long, and stretchy and limber, especially dancing in that suit...

Hmm, is it possible that Hugh did those "voice lessons" for this commercial? I think it would be too cheesy if he also sang in other parts of that commercial, but when I see that dance, then maybe something between a hip-hop and rap or so during this dancing?
I am very curious about this.

I'm guessing no on the singing, personally. Especially as they seem to be choreographing to a pre-existing tune at the start there.

Do you think they're filming different commercials for different markets and that might be just for Japan? I know they'll all show up online but I want the shock of suddenly seeing him on my telly. Being dorky.

What makes you think Japan, out of interest?

Edit: Unless you're looking at the opening caption of Tokio Hotel, which is also the name of a band (rather than Tokyo hotel, which would be a location) and I figured was something to do with the backing track. Re-watching, I see this may be a very wrong assumption.

well, hope so and also hope they won't change the "Star" for it like it usually goes...

WOW! Thanx a lot, great find!

Can't wait to see the final commercial. Hopefully it's really shown worldwide.

I got a huge shock, when I've read Tokio Hotel at the beginning of that video and thought: Shit, nooo, please no Tokio Hotel music.

Yes, it's a German band, THE German band at the moment, kind of teenie band, and I absolutely can't stand them. They're so overhyped. Hardly anyone over 20 likes them, they're just elected as the most annoying band here in Germany LOL.

Maybe it was the location where they filmed the spot.
I don't think they change him with other stars because it's a global campaign. Maybe they do several commercials with several co-stars for the different markets.

Didn't they say he was the "spokesman" for the global campaign? What I meant was he might be featured in diffferent adverts for different countries.

I'm guessing, thinking about it, the Tokio may be an alternate or mis-spelling of Tokyo, given as the rest of the vid is captioned in Portugese anyway.

I wonder if this footage is part of the same commercial as the beach one, or a different advert? Or indeed, I wonder how many they filmed in total? He's wearing the same suit in both, but that means pretty much nothing.

btw, Do we know the creative agency which shoots the AD?
