Dua Lipa Snags Clooneys Iconic Line in Ad

He's been the face of Nespresso for 20 years, but it looks like has finally been usurped.

The Hollywood heavyweight is being given a run for his money by British pop star , who has signed a multi-million-pound deal to be the coffee brand's newest ambassador.

And the aesthetically blessed pair come face-to-face in the new advert for the coffee company, with the singer taking centre stage.

In the new campaign video, Dua, 30, cheekily steals George's legendary 'what else?' line, before he makes a surprise cameo, marking their first on-screen moment together.

She is seen sunbathing in a stylish yellow mini dress on an inflatable lilo in a picturesque villa pool, when George, 64, floats up beside her.

It seems the legendary Hollywood actor did not get the poolside dress code, as he wore a smart grey suit while in the water.

Confused, Dua turns and says, 'George?' and when he begins saying his famous phrase, trying to take back the spotlight from the singer, a parrot interrupts him.

In the final scene, she returns to a Nespresso store and asks the camera, ' So what else?' but a frustrated George appears behind her and quips: 'That is my line!'

Nespresso's Chief Marketing Officer, Lorenzo Aizpuru, said they were drawn to Dua because of her activities outside the music industry, like her Service95 book club and newsletter. 

A spokesperson told Adweek that George, 'continues to collaborate with us and will appear in future brand activities.

'This new campaign simply puts the spotlight on Dua Lipa, but George's long-standing relationship and contributions remain essential to Nespresso.'

Dua added: 'I feel like I have grown up with Nespresso. There's always been a Nespresso machine nearby - at home with my family, on set, or in a hotel room - so teaming up with them was a really easy decision.

'I just love how they are always exploring new flavours and finding ways to evolve as a brand. Working together has already been loads of fun, and it's just the beginning.'

To celebrate Dua's first advert, Nespresso are serving bizarre limited-edition coffees based on her adventurous tastes at The Recipe Remix - an immersive experience launching in Covent Garden Piazza between April 14 and 19.
