Captain Morgan rum
has recruited comedian and actor Adam Devine for the latest iteration of its
Live Like a Captain campaign. This is
part of a partnership, Devine, known for his appearances in The Lego
Batman Movie and Pitch Perfect 2, has been dubbed Captain
Morgan’s ‘chief party officer’.
Captain Morgan vice president, Linda
Bethea, said: “Captain Morgan needed a chief party officer who can not only
dominate a game of corn hole, but is the first to order a ride home for the
group. “There is no doubt that Adam
brings an unprecedented level of energy and fun with him wherever he goes.”
The
global campaign launched last year with an appearance from Rio Ferdinand.
In the newest iteration of Live Like a Captain, Devine visits Captain Morgan’s
house party in a new video that will begin running online today to mark
National Rum Day (16 August). The spot will make its television debut in
October. “I’ve been living like a
Captain for many years,” said Devine. “I’m glad my love for the brand has
evolved from demanding everyone call me ‘The Captain’ at parties to now being
the chief party officer for the Captain himself.

“I look forward to throwing many parties
together in the future and spreading the Captain Morgan lifestyle.” In his first role as chief party officer,
Devine crashed the 30th birthday party of Tyler Tills, who is a diehard fan of
the comedian. Devine posted a clip of
the encounter on his Instagram feed earlier this week and the full video can be
