Hollywood star Samuel L Jackson has been named as the new face of British cable TV company Virgin Media’s latest TV advertising campaign.
Jackson is taking over the role to promote the telecommunications brand from fekkow ‘Pulp Fiction’ star Uma Thurman.
The ads are designed to show Virgin Media leading the TV revolution by publicizing the company’s Video on Demand content as to how it lets people watch what they want on TV, and when then want it. It will also showcase Catch-Up-TV, a service which allows customers to watch TV programs they might have missed in the last seven days. The On Demand service is said to have more than 4,300 hours of TV time, including a database of 5,000 movies.
“We are extremely excited about working with Samuel for our new ad campaign, as he has such massive appeal with young and old alike,” said James Kydd, Virgin Media’s managing director of brand and marketing. “He is the epitome of cool and is an unmistakeably powerful narrator who never fails to grab the attention of the viewer. We couldn’t think of anyone better to talk about the best TV service in the UK.”
Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winner Samuel Leroy Jackson, 59, has appeared in over sixty films is currently starring in six films that will debut this year and in 2009. Jackson’s most recent movie is ‘Jumper’, released last month.

British actress Keira Knightley has made the cover of US magazine Interview’s January issue stripping down to just knickers, black stilettos and the flimsiest of tops.
I guess she just had to do this–Knightley revealed: “We ended up by taking my clothes off. Why does that always happen? Coz I say yes, I suppose!”
Apparently, ‘The Atonement’ actress unveiled her curvy new look in a bid to end the anorexia rumours which have followed her movie ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean.’
The seductive shots were taken by celebrated photographer Sam Taylor-Wood, who, reportedly, was responsible for persuading Keira to lose the corsets–and she started off posing for the celebrity snapper with her kit on.
Keira, 22, spoke to a US talk show of her willingness to strip: “My friends actually have bets on whether I can do a photo shoot and keep my clothes on and I can’t at the moment.
“I find it vaguely liberating. You will probably see pictures of me soon walking down the street naked.”
The British star also said she can’t be held responsible for how teenage girls reacted to her body.
“You could say ‘you’re responsible for girls being anorexic because you are thin’, but I can’t be anything I’m not,” she said. “I don’t believe in role models … I don’t believe that any person can be put up there as being better than any other person.
“Personally, I think I have the right to make as many mistakes as I like without having to feel guilty about a young girl going ‘Wow, you’re making that mistake, so should I’.”
I’m inclined to agree. Mistakes are private stuff. Mistakes are lonely stuff. Even when it comes down to the celebrities.
