Hayek Gets Her Coke and Drinks it Too
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) — Following in the footsteps of another Latin beauty, Penelope Cruz, actress Salma Hayek is lending her talents to the Coca-Cola Co’s. new ad campaign.
Directed by big-screen director Bryan Singer (“The Usual Suspects,” “X-Men”), the new advertising spot, “Hollywood Restaurant,” was produced in both English and Spanish and will run on national general market and Spanish-language television.
“As someone who is known to be true to herself and her roots, Salma Hayek personifies the spirit of the Coca-Cola Real campaign idea,” said Esther Lee, chief creative officer of Coca-Cola North America. “This spot is also reflective of Salma’s cross-cultural life as an actress who has made it in Hollywood and, at heart, a Hispanic who embraces the traditions of her Mexican homeland.”
Shot on location at the trendy West Hollywood restaurant Koi, Hayek sneaks away from a dinner meeting to the kitchen, where she orders a taco and a Coca-Cola while laughing with the chef and wait staff.
