She's America's Sweetheart, a beloved member of TV's iconic Friends
(1994-2004), a tabloid fav due to her marriage, divorce and ongoing
challenges with Brad Pitt and his current partner - Angelina Jolie.
Is Jennifer doing hair commercials? Has she ever done them before?
What is her connection to the big hair giant - L'Oreal? Read
on, the scoops are all here in this article.
Actually the media is all abuzz by the reports that the lovely Ms.
Aniston has reportedly signed an estimated $10 million dollar deal
to shoot so-called "mini action movies" for L'Oreal hair products.
The mini film commercials are supposedly going to be shot this
summer with Jennifer playing the heroine and directed by film
director David Fincher. Her reps have denied these reports
which claim she is reinventing her image to be less girl-next-store
and more alluring, sexy and seductive.
Although her L'Oreal commercial work has been denied, Jennifer is
busy doing commercials for "Smartwater" an "electrolyte enhanced"
drink she created for Glaceau with the slogn "water that's the envy
of all water."
Jennifer's L'Oreal Hair Commercials In The Late 90s
While it's impossible to say if Jennifer is really going to be
shooting L'Oreal mini commercials in the near future. She did shoot
hair commercials in the late 1990s.
Yes, unless you lived in England you probably missed them but the
truth is that the beautiful actress was doing hair advertisements in
Great Britain for L'Oreal's ELVIVE shampoo.
Who could blame L'Oreal for wanting the superstar whose haircut -
The Rachel - launched a frenzy. Women all over America rushed
out to have their own hair coiffed into the Rachel.
The L'Oreal shampoo ads in question never hit the shores of the
United States and most of her American fans are unlikely to ever see
those ads.

Why would Jennifer do hair ads overseas? Quite simply, it has
been very common for big name stars, especially TV stars who have
broken into film, to agree to hawk a wide range of products overseas
for millions of dollars. This practice has been going on for
years.
Rising stars like Jennifer realized that hawking products in other
countries were out of sight of US audiences which did not damage
their reputation from overexposure.
Unlike the movie Lost In Translation where a movie star is required
to go to Japan to shoot a commercial, it is most likely that
Jennifer shot her L'Oreal work right around Los Angeles.
Around the time that Jennifer was doing the L'Oreal commercials for
ELVIVE her star was rising to new heights. In 1997 she starred
in Picture Perfect with Kevin Bacon which was mostly well-received.
As many big name stars know, shooting commercials offshore helped to
build a stronger fan base around the world. It also was easy
money. Maybe not the ten million that is rumored for a new
L'Oreal ad campaign, but definitely in the millions for sure.
Back in the late 1990s there was no U Tube or similar websites that
could immediately pop up foreign commercials. U Tube changed
the entire landscape of the world of foreign commercials.
Nowadays if superstars are trying to conceal the fact that they are
hawking cigarettes, alcohol or other politically incorrect products
for tons of bucks, they will most likely show up on a video site at
some point.
Liv Tyler, Angelina Jolie & Sharon Stone Did It Too
Jennifer Aniston was not alone in doing overseas hair and beauty
commercials. Liv Tyler showed off her luscious brunette locks
in oversea ad campaigns for Lux styling gel. Angelina Jolie
skipped the hair care ads but did appear in Japan dress as Morticia
Addams for Honda Odysseys.
Even songbird Mariah Carey did work for Kose cosmetics in Japan and
Sharon Stone hawked Vernal bath and beauty products.
Jennifer's Smartwater Ads

Another concern that celebrities had about doing commercials was
fear of overexposure or cheapening their movie careers. In
some cases actors known to do lots of commercials could potentially
damage their changes for certain starring roles.
Now that U Tube has happened, Jennifer couldn't begin to hide any
overseas endorsement deals. So why not let it all hang out.
Which is exactly what she is doing in a very tight pair of jeans for
Smartwater.
Any worry about overexposure would not be an issue for Ms. Aniston
who is constantly stalked by the media anyway.
Summary
Currently the tabloids are abuzz about Jennifer Aniston's
reported new commercial deal with hair and beauty giant L'Oreal.
Although her reps deny it, we all know how celebrities often spin
the truth until they are ready to let the public know what they want
us to know.
Ironically, it is well-known in the inner hair media circles that
Jennifer never wishes to talk about her hair, even though it helped
make her famous, because she wants to be known as "a serious
actress" and not a hair icon. So why did she agree to do
L'Oreal ads in the late 1990s for L'Oreal? Why not.
Money always talks in my book.
