Keri Russell may have been a tomboy growing up, and TV audiences know her as a college coed on the TV series “Felicity.” But now she’s gone glam as a CoverGirl.
The 30-year-old actress joins Christie Brinkley and Queen Latifah as a spokesmodel for the venerable beauty brand. The new TV ad for Outlast Double Lipshine debuts this month, and the print ad will be in August magazines.
Being a makeup model isn’t what Russell expected in her career. This is only the second commercial she has starred in, other than promotions for her various movie and television roles.
“When I first started, I did do a commercial for a deodorant or something. I don’t even think it aired. This is the first thing I’ve done like this. It’s a lot less stressful than doing a film. This takes two days, not a few months or the whole year of a television show,” she told The Associated Press recently.
But the CoverGirl shoot wasn’t just about looking pretty. Russell describes the TV ad more as a mini action movie, in which she fights a group of ninjas. Looking pretty, of course. Source
