Driven Celebrities
Driven celebrity Matthew McConaughey drives a Lincoln. Ever since making the ‘Lincoln Lawyer,’ movie, the pretend attorney has capitalized on his famous filmography. And he’s not the only celebrity making a fortune by endorsing automobiles.
With today’s technology, it’s inexcusable for celebrities to live in poverty. It saddens me to read about the misfortunes of entertainers, especially athletes. Driven celebrities Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and George Foreman are anomalies.
Ford gave country music pioneer Toby Keith a profitable package. Volvo smartly signed an endorsement deal with martial arts master Jean-Claude Van Damme. Moreover, Honda sealed a package with Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron.
If you’re an amateur Tennis player, you’ve probably noticed Maria Sharapova in some Land Rover advertisements. Also, professional athletes Peyton Manning, Tiger Woods, and Shaquille O’Neal have lucrative endorsement deals with Buick. Do you really believe Buicks are spacious enough for basketball centers?
Comedian Tim Allen lends his voice to Chevrolet commercials. Also, rappers Dr. Dre and Eminem represent Chrysler. It’s impossible to name every last celebrity car endorsement.
