Kate Beckinsales hilariously terrible ads for Absolut Vodka

You know someone is a terrible actress when you don’t even believe them in still photos. Such it is with Kate Beckinsale. She’s been on my sh-t list ever since she left her dog in a completely closed car for hours, but I’ve never really loved her. For a brief moment, for like a week, I was all “maybe she’s not that bad.” But she is. In film after film, you can see what a God-awful actress she is. And now she’s brought her patented “No Method Just Open Your Mouth and Think of Particle Physics” brand of acting to some craptastic Absolut Vodka ads.

I guess I’ll give Kate credit for something – she has a great body. She has nice hair too. But other than that, I kind of think she’s a waste of space. But good hair and a good body was enough to get her named as Esquire’s reigning Sexiest Woman, and now she’s the face of a major liquor brand. I still don’t get why a company like Absolut would choose her for the face of their brand.

It’s hard to choose my favorite among these three ads… probably because Kate has the exact same expression in each one. Look at that – same open mouth, same poorly-acted “sexily surprised” look. The only difference is the position of her head. One to the right, one to the left, and one full frontal. No… I think my favorite is the red one. I like Kate’s horribly acted mime with her hand up – like she’s “indicating” that there should be something in the frame besides her dumb face. This sh-t is epic.
