Clooney on the set of his new Nespresso ad, his first U.S. spot for the brand in two years.

Who’s suaver, George Clooney or Fozzie Bear?
Check out the Cloonster’s latest ad for Nespresso and decide for yourself. Georgie pops into travel scenes from a half-dozen familiar Hollywood films, including The Muppet Movie, as he takes the long, cinematic way home for a cup of that sweet sweet joe:

Yes, that’s Andy Garcia taunting Clooney on the phone. Hey, Andy—your Oscar envy’s showing! (Just kidding. You were great in that thing you were in, whatever it was.)
Developed with McCann New York, the commercial marks Clooney’s first U.S. ad for Nespresso in nearly two years. Along with the Muppets’ first big-screen romp (1979), the spot incorporates clips from Psycho (1960), Easy Rider (1969), Smokey and the Bandit (1977), Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) and Seabiscuit (2003).
“We wanted to bring an aspect of George’s movie world mixed with elements of cultural references into the campaign,” client vp of marketing Davide Moro tells AdFreak. “We worked closely with George in selecting the movies.”
His integration into the old films is pretty darn impressive.
“The director, Grant Heslov, and [effects company] Framestore worked together closely to come up with a seamless edit,” Moro says. “This covered everything from necessary props—the cars and motorcycle—lighting, camera angles and lenses. Figuring out everything in advance resulted in George being able to focus on his performance for each greenscreen set-up over the course of the three shoot days.”
You’ll note that Clooney never appears “beside himself” in footage from any of his own movies. Presumably, such a debonair doubling would cause the cosmos to explode.
You’ll also note that he doesn’t have any lines (aside from voicing the “What else?” tagline at the end)—though his presence is impressive throughout, as he sells the comic premise through priceless facial expressions.
Garcia, on the other hand, never shuts up. Go easy on that java, Andy!

That's some coffee run! George Clooney hitches a ride with the Muppets and more iconic characters in search of a caffeine fix for new ad


By Ross Mcdonagh For Dailymail.com


PUBLISHED: 17:48 BST, 26 April 2017 

George Clooney would use planes, trains and automobiles - and motorbikes, and a horse - to get his Nespresso.
The 55-year-old hitches some of the most iconic movie rides in history in his latest ad for the coffee company.
The one-minute commercial sees the long-time brand ambassador staring at a crummy coffeepot on a glum rainy set, while Andy Garcia taunts him over the phone from an idyllic breakfast setting.

Without uttering a word throughout the entire ad, a determined Clooney travels through time and film, grabbing lifts from some very famous faces.

First to pick him up are Kermit The Frog and Fozzie Bear, who happily sing as they drive, while their passenger doesn't even complain about the Muppet behind the wheel.

Next George finds himself shotgun beside Burt Reynolds in Smokey And The Bandit's 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

For the home stretch, Clooney jumps aboard Seabiscuit before arriving at Nespresso HQ... only to get a call from Garcia back at the movie set who had brought one for him. 
The former ER hunk has been a brand ambassador for the company for more than a decade, in a deal which by 2013 had reportedly earned him $40million.

He told the Guardian that year that he spends most of the paycheck keeping a satellite above the border of North and South Sudan to keep an eye on Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese dictator charged with war crimes at The Hague. 
While the Nespresso ads have primarily been targeted at Europe, the company recently switched its campaign to the US, recruiting Danny DeVito alongside Clooney.
'It's easier to work with a green screen than to work with Danny DeVito, because green screen gives so much more than Danny,' George jibed in a making-of video.
