Summary Great little spot her to find a very exotic, unique chap for a German Commercial. The ad highlights that Leroy is in fact the Plato of the modern World, he’s never out of place in cool surroundings, and his own are even
trendier. He’s an effortlessly magnetic, wise and charming gentleman. He needs not try too hard, ever. He’s lived! Do think outside the box on this one! He’s a man like no other!
MUST BE A GERMAN SPEAKER His skin has seen the sun and the wind. Perhaps Middle-Eastern although there is no clear idea where he comes from but his accent is very thick. He’s lived but he’s trendy. Effortlessly cool for his age. He has his own unique look and way of talking. We might see him as a mix between Borat and Mr Chance from ‘Being There’. He’s an endearing idiot; a learned scholar but definitely no idiot. His pronouncements on life is simple and straightforward and yet rather brilliant in today’s world, so his simplicity is even more charming to us. There is a dignity and rhythmic cadence in the way he both moves and talks. Maybe he repeats certain words or makes a little ‘heh’ sound at the end of a sentence to show pleasure at what he just said. He’s clearly not used to speaking to camera but yet feels totally comfortable in doing so. Think exotic dapper! He takes real joy in life.
