Supermodel Chrissy Teigan is starring as a
peg-legged buccaneer in a new advertisement for Captain Morgan’s flavored rum
range.
Chrissy Teigan stars as Paquita Pantalones in
Captain Morgan’s new advertisement. Teigan, who is married to musician John
Legend, stars as “Paquita Pantalones”, a sword-wielding female counterpart to
the Captain Morgan character in the new US advertisement.
The advertisement, which can been viewed in
full below, promotes Captain Morgan’s new flavored range
consisting of Pineapple, Coconut and Grapefruit variants. In the ad, entitled “I know what you drank last
summer”, Teigan slices pineapples with a sword and smashes grapefruits to
create cocktails for beach holiday-makers.
On her Instagram account, Teigan said: “Watch
my new @CaptainMorganUSA video! My co-stars are the most delicious cocktails of
all time, and I dyed my hair black and cut my leg off because I commit to my
craft.”
Brand-owner Diageo launched the collection in
the US in February this year, announcing its intention to roll out a
summer-themed marketing campaign throughout the year. Diageo launched its first Captain Morgan White Rum in the US in February 2014. Click on the link below to see Teigan in action as Paquita
