Tom Hiddleston’s done a very odd Chinese TV ad for Centrum supplements and it’s this week’s creepiest thing
Back in the day if you were a big name star you could do ads for different parts of the world and no-one would ever see them (until they turned up on Clive James).
These days, well, it’s not easy. So we get to see Tom Hiddleston’s weirdo ad for Centrum women’s supplements, for Chinese TV, in all its terrifying glory.
How weird can an ad for vitamin supplements be? THIS weird.

We don’t know where to begin. Anyone?
Hello. This is the creepiest commercial I have ever seen, and I am including Matthew McConaughey’s “Driving Lincolns While Stoned” anthology.

True. The target audience is Chinese gals though, not us. If the UK has different commercials than the USA and we speak the same language, it seems pretty safe to imagine China TV has a different feel as well. Fun to see him flirt with the cameraman.

It’s just, weird. Being said, if buying a bottle of Centrum you get a Tom Hiddleston making your breakfast, I’ll be buying in monthly amounts.

It totally threw me off at the end b/c they set it up to look like he was talking to the viewer- & then the hands came out of nowhere to fix his collar. *stunned*
So that broccoli for breakfast really wasn’t for us, was it?
*hurls Centrum across room* #TomHiddleston

This is soft core porn in my opinion. Except the veggies.

I can't tell if the viewer is supposed to be his girlfriend or his mother https://t.co/jjyWxB8AZd

The whole thing is so sinister – like he’s a deranged ex breaching a restraining order and the protagonist is too shocked to speak.

This ad is peculiar. After spending most of it working the angle of Tom-Hiddleston-as-Ultimate-Boyfriend, it suddenly bizarrely ends with him saying he's gonna be working late a lot. And now that delicious Centrum tastes like ashes. https://t.co/0gWz9UVXNP
