Matt LeBlanc Heinz
Sunday, August 10th, 2008
And you thought Matt LeBlanc was goofy enough in his television roles. You haven’t seen anything - until you’ve seen LeBlanc in a ketchup commercial.
The future Friends star appeared in quite a few commercials in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, acting as the clever, pretty face for a few commercials that - at the time, anyway - were considered quite excellent. Nowadays they look pretty silly.
Take the one below, for example. It’s a 1987 production that has LeBlanc going to get a hot dog from a vendor - but not before he sets a bottle of Heinz ketchup up on the building behind him. Once he gets the hot dog the ketchup slowly drips down from the rooftop and somehow manages to spread itself neatly across his hotdog. He then starts eating and winks at the camera.
Yeeeah. Sure. Apparently it was enjoyed, however, as this particular commercial won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
