Doing TV adverts? Blow me if he aint earned enough from Friends that's just plain greedy.

[david small]

His swimming pool is full of money, now he wants to fill his jacuzzi?

Mr Schwimmer is entitled to earn as much as he can while he can - a simple maxim for anyone and everyone.

There is no rule where some arbitrary individual or collection of individuals gets to assess anyone's financial cut-off point, and then decide that they have 'enough money' and cannot earn any more.

For his own lifefstyle and enjoyment Mr Schwimmer may wish to own more of just about anything, and that is his absolute right.

I am sure he has family and dependents with whom he can share his wealth as he chooses, and for them, he will want as much money as he can provide.

You may guess from my response that I don;t think he is being 'greedy' - he is an actor plying his trade, nothing more or less.

don't think i could be bothered making an advert if i was worth 100m dollars . . .

[andy-hughes]

ael - // don't think i could be bothered making an advert if i was worth 100m dollars . . . //

He's an actor, it's what he does, what else should he do - till the allotment?

[david small]

Philanthropy wouldn’t go amiss. He who dies rich dies disgraced. Help others altruistically or even blatantly.
It’s a blessing to be able to give and not miss it.

George Clooney does adverts, and nobody seems to mind. If these people want to prostitute themselves, it's up to them.

here's a list of the charities and causes he supports

what - to make a shilling in between adverts - ter daah !

[woofgang]

You don't know what he does with the money, he may well donate it, that's his business not ours

[david small]

Definitely his business. But we can discuss it without offending him.

[davebro]

And Kevin Bacon just makes me want throw something at the telly!

[barry1010]

That Snoop Dog wotsisface is worth a lot more than Schwimmer and is advertising McDonalds. That's why they are so rich - they are not daft enough to turn down easy money.
Far less respect for those 'trusted' faces that advertise funeral plans, life plans, equity release and other shoddy investments.

[Prudie]

Maybe he just wants to be on camera. I don't see why it's prostituting, some of these big stars are often past the chance of getting decent roles again - even Robert de Niro is doing it (and everyone's, for some reason, darling Idris Elba).

[davebro]

TBH I have forgotten what Ross was advertising!!!!

[aelmpvw]

seems pointless to me employing famous people to do ads, don't most people either fast forward them on recordings or ignore them? i know i do

[pastafreak]

So saying actors are 'prostituting themselves' isn't offending them?

As long as there are goods to sell, there will be adverts, actors to perform in them, and ad agencies to create those ads.

[pastafreak]

Oh...is Robert di Niro prostituting himself? Jane Fonda?

[DTCwordfan]

Really, one ought to question the sanity of some folk on here - criticising someone for making money and having no idea what that person is going to do with it as to piling it up, buying a new Ferrari, house, estate, work of art or donating it to one of their charities - simply, it's not our business.

Some of the reactions on here underpin why the Sussex clan went after the Press.....

[douglas9401]

As my Chinese friend was saying, that's whory unfair.

[emmie]

don't see it as being greedy, perhaps that's all the work he can get right now.
