Overview

Description

A long-suffering coach driver who ferries around unruly football fans steps into the spotlight for a new ad in Paddy Power's "You beauty" campaign, which celebrates unsung heroes.

Singing his version of 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up?, the driver copes with obnoxious characters such as Big Fat Phil and the unfairness of not having tickets to matches by placing a bet on his Paddy Power app.

Execution

Casting for Fat Phil and the driver had to be perfect. It was a long process to find the right actors.
