So, I decided to spend some time looking into Charlize Theron’s commercials the other day. It wasn’t for any big project, just felt like diving into that specific topic for a bit, see what I could find and recall.
First thing I did was just open up my browser and head over to the big video platforms. You know the ones. My process was pretty straightforward, nothing fancy. I started simple, just typed in “charlize theron commercials” into the search bar.
The Initial Search
Right away, a whole load of results popped up. Lots and lots of Dior J’adore ads, obviously. Those are probably the most famous ones she’s done, and they’ve been running for ages it seems. I clicked on a few, watched the classics again. It’s quite something to see the different versions they’ve made over the years. She really owns that role, doesn’t she?
I spent maybe 20 minutes just on the Dior stuff. Some were really cinematic, others simpler. It was interesting just to see the evolution of that campaign alone.
Digging a Little Deeper
After the Dior wave, I wanted to see what else was out there. I tried refining my search. Added terms like “old” or specific brand names I vaguely remembered. It took a bit more scrolling and clicking through results that weren’t quite right.
Found some stuff I’d totally forgotten about! Remember those Raymond Weil watch ads? Found one of those. Then there were some L’Oreal ads from way back. It’s funny how these things just disappear from your memory.
- Dior J’adore (various years)
- Raymond Weil
- L’Oreal (older ones)
- Some Japanese commercials too, I think? Though verifying those was harder.
Just Observing and Thinking
I wasn’t really analyzing them deeply, more just watching as a regular viewer. But you start to notice patterns. How the style changes depending on the brand and the era. The early 2000s stuff has a very different vibe compared to the sleek productions of today.
It got me thinking about celebrity endorsements. Does seeing Charlize Theron make you want to buy perfume or a watch? For me, I don’t know. But for certain brands, like Dior, she’s become so intertwined with the product identity. It’s more than just a face; it’s like she is J’adore for a lot of people.
So yeah, that was my little practical session. Just involved searching, watching, and a bit of reminiscing. Didn’t uncover any earth-shattering secrets, but it was a satisfying way to spend an hour or so, just exploring this specific niche of advertising history. It’s always interesting to see the commercial side of famous actors.
