Brad Pitt will shoot a commercial this week in London for the fragrance brand Chanel No. 5, the first male to partner with the high-profile perfume giant.
Previous celebs who have fronted for the signature scent include Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, Audrey Tatou, Catherine Deneuve and Lauren Hutton.
Why would an actor want to dabble in marketing perfume? Word has it there is a seven-figure paycheck involved.
Actually it seems like a natural for Pitt. He has demonstrated in the past that he isn’t afraid to stray from the mainstream in his work or his personal lifestyle that includes Angelina Jolie and six children.
The A-list family recently purchased a $16 million estate in London that could well be the venue for their upcoming nuptial ceremony – pics here.
The Chanel No. 5 ad will be released later this year overseas.
