how much do celebs get paid for ads

[lobbert]

i wanna know how much the average celeb gets paid for an ad. ross kemp is in an ad for life insurance cover and we were wanting to know why he is in it and how much money does he get paid.
my guess is about �5,000
my flatmates guess is �45,000
who is closest????????

I would have thought your flatmate was nearer. There is a lot of cash in advertising, for some reason I know that it costs 40 grand to have Victoria Wood as the guest speaker at your function/wedding and thats gotta be less work than an advert.

I would guess, cos I don;t know, it's probably nearer �45,000 if not well over that depending on who the ad is for, what the ad is for and what programme it is shown in.

I know a few years back, maybe 15 or more, I read that a 30 second ad during Coronation Street costs over �30,000 to place so you can bet it costs much more now. If you consider an ad such as the L'Oreal ones that are shown worldwide, AND have some one who is famous the globe over, then I can guess that they are either tied into a contract of millions or as a one off paid a million. Even a 5" square ad in the Sun costs �5,000 so I wouldn't hesitate to say that Ross Kemp got paid more than �5,000 for a TV ad

Ross Kemp did an advert for Fruit and Fibre years ago, before Eastenders. In an interview in later years he said it took 2 days to film and they paid him �9000 per day.

In the 1970's we had a very small time actor ( he was never in anything!) living next door. One day, he announced he was playing the barman in a new Guinness advert with the toucan and he was moving to buy his own house!! He didn't quote figures, obviously, but he said the money was...brilliant and much better than acting!
