George Clooney joined by French actor Jean Dujardin in latest Nespresso

George Clooney is returning to screens in the latest Nespresso advertising campaign, which will debut online on 30 October.

The new footage illustrates how Clooney has more than met his match in French actor Jean Dujardin as he is outwitted in his quest for a Nespresso coffee.

“I have been associated with Nespresso for many years and it’s fantastic that the ad campaigns continue to have such a positive reception,” said Clooney.
 
“I was delighted to have the opportunity to work with Jean on this spot, even if he does get the better of me.”



In the grounds of a beautiful villa on Lake Como in Italy, viewers see Clooney go to make himself an espresso. He comes across his friend Dujardin who is about to help himself to the last Nespresso capsule. Clooney convinces Dujardin to give him the last capsule but only by offering him something in exchange. As he is about to savour his favourite Volluto Grand Cru, a beautiful lady approaches him and, being the perfect gentleman, Clooney offers her the cup of espresso only to realise that he has been tricked from the very start.

“With the new Nespresso ‘What Else?’ campaign we challenged ourselves to create a new and playful scenario with long-time brand ambassador George Clooney that viewers would enjoy watching and engaging with both on TV and on-line. This year we had the opportunity to also work with Jean Dujardin, which presented us with a unique dynamic for the TV commercial to show ‘How Far’ both will go to enjoy that incomparable Nespresso moment,” said Guillaume Le Cunff, international marketing and strategy director, Nestlé Nespresso SA.

“As part of the campaign we will also invite club members and coffee lovers to go further with us and become part of the ‘How Far’ story, which will be extended across digital and social activations, to see just ‘How Far’ they are willing to go to for their favourite Nespresso Grand Cru.”



Jean Dujardin added: “I enjoy the humour behind these Nespresso campaigns and had great fun working with George Clooney on the set of this latest episode. I enjoy Nespresso coffee and took particular pleasure in drinking a Grand Cru destined for George.”



The full ad campaign from Nespresso featuring George Clooney and Jean Dujardin will debut in the Republic of Ireland from 10 November until 31 December. The 30-second spot will appear on TV stations, including RTE, TV3 and Sky.
