Ad Watch: George Clooney Gets Married? Don't Bank on It

Posted by Michael Waltzer on September 20, 2011 04:30 PM

It seems that George Clooney has finally gotten married... In a commercial for Norwegian bank DNB NOR. The video starts off, a la The Hangover, with a disoriented bride in a trashed hotel room. She looks around, finds her dress, and realizes she had been married the night before.

Franticly looking for clues to what happened, she goes through pictures of her with an unknown groom. All of a sudden George walks in claiming he didn't want to wake her up. They look at online real estate, and the commercial ends with the voiceover, "Some people are lucky in life. For the rest of us, saving up can be smart."

Sorry bachelorettes, although it was just a commercial, Clooney is currently dating someone (WWE star Stacy Keibler). But there's enough of him to go around... in commercials at least.

Spotted in Beverly Hills a few days ago, the silver-haired star was caught filming a commercial for Mercedes-Benz, specifically for the Chinese market. He has also done commercials for Fiat (only airing in Italy) and Honda (only airing in Japan).
