That old flame will be cursing Pond's cream

The smarmy good looks, leering glances and intensely smoldering accent of the lead actor in this Pond's spot by Bassat Ogilvy are almost hypnotic. He could be last guy they cut before picking a better actor to play the next James Bond. In the ad, he and an old flame (Octopussy?) show up to look at the same penthouse. When he tells her, "It's the perfect flat for one. Or maybe even two," I thought his over-emoting might knock her flat on her back—a perilous position with that creep in striking range.
