Brad isn’t the only Hollywood hunk to come from humble commercial beginnings. A fresh-faced teenage Ryan Reynolds appeared in a Push Pop ad in the ‘90s.
Long before 1988’s Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze proved he had all the moves in a 1979 TV commercial for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. The 27-year-old’s dance performance almost puts Johnny Castle to shame.
Four years before Channing Tatum landed his iconic role as Tyler Gage in the OG Step Up, he starred in a 2002 Pepsi commercial as a DJ. Not long after, he also landed a Mountain Dew ad, where he gave off major Fast and the Furious vibes with his driving skills.
Pre-Die Hard, Bruce Willis appeared in a couple of ads for alcohol brand Seagram. In one of them, Bruce is jamming with his boys on the porch, singing the brand’s jingle into a bottle of Golden Wine Coolers.
When Ben Affleck was younger, he did a lot of small acting roles. One of his most memorable appearances was when he was 17 years old and starred in a 1989 ad for Burger King.
