Seinfeld star appears in Aussie TV commercial
Jerry Seinfeld has shot a new TV commercial that will only be shown in Australia.
The star filmed the ad for Australia’s Greater Building Society, one of the biggest building societies Down Under.
Jerry has only ever shot two other commercials – one for Microsoft, for which he was reportedly paid 10million US dollars, and another for American Express.
His fee for the new ad has not been made public, but a company spokesman said it was “nowhere near” what Microsoft supposedly paid.
Greater Building Society’s CEO, Don Magin, says they signed the star for the one-minute ad simply because: “We were bold enough to ask.”
Company spokesman Craig Eardley added: “Jerry is smart, professional, down to earth, cheeky and likes to have some fun. He was the perfect choice.”
The star co-wrote the scripts and shot enough footage to make 20 ads in total. The first one will be screened in Australia on July 12.
