14 DAY TRIAL // Last week, the news about Justin Long not featuring in future Mac commercials was literally on every Mac-related-news site, even on Softpedia. Well, I guess that there was nothing interesting to report so this rumor took birth and I sincerely was a little glad when I heard that Justin wasn't going to join us anymore as I don't really like those commercials.
Justin has dismissed those rumors in a post that appeared on his website yesterday where he writes: as for the mac commercials, I don't know where that report came from that said I wasn't going to do anymore - I literally setting my alarm right now to wake up for a mac shoot tomorrow - if I'm not doing anymore I guess I can sleep in on my day off - that'd be nice. but yeah, we're doing some holiday spots now which I think will be pretty funny - not nearly funny enough to justify the money they're paying me though, I'll be honest with you. as for the future, I really don't know what I'm going to do - I'm surprised, frankly, that the campaign hasn't become tired and they've just ended it on their own - but I try to live as much in the present as I can considering the future doesn't exist, I'm not really sure. They're easy to do, I love john (the pc guy) and working with him is so effortless and fun that I definitely wouldn't rule out doing some more - and, as I said, they pay us nicely.
So this is the end of all the rumors. Justin Long will be featuring in future Mac commercials and that's it. I don't have anything against the guy, but the commercials are not that bright and I hope they will chance them with or without Justin.
