After Grand Theft Auto V, the actor of Trevor has taken a hairpin turn.
Steven Ogg‘s acting in Rockstar’s game was nothing short of phenomenal, but he has thrown away the Canadian psychopath figure for a bit to advertise a product. What product is it? It’s Old Spice. Now that’s a sharp turn.
The interesting thing in the two videos is that we wouldn’t be surprised if fans would recreate them in Grand Theft Auto V‘s movie editor with Trevor as the lead character in the ad – no matter how we look at these videos, we just can’t switch ourselves off from Rockstar’s game. The comparison is always just lingering there.
Advertising with video game characters isn’t regular, so the marketing here is spot on. At least Ogg didn’t shout into the camera with full force, saying „GO F_CK YOURSELF!”
