Kingsman Advert for Virgin Media
We were approached by a filming company to let them use the shop front for a TV advert. We were unaware at the time it was going to replicate the infamous Kingsman shop (which is actually Huntsman on Saville Row).
It wasn’t until I was sitting in front of the telly on the weekend and I think it aired in the first advert break of either BGT or the X-factor with Usain Bolt walking towards the front of our shop. Once he enters he is greeted by Richard E Grant, then the secret doors open to the spies real wardrobe.
The real truth is that neither Usain Bolt or Richard E Grant were present and obviously with the help of modern technology it was all edited and what you see below is the finished article.
As I said on my instagram post when this went live. Everyone is famous for 15 minutes, but in this case it was about 3 seconds - I’ll still take it though.
See video below for the advert.
