Did you get a discount on that, Jude? Or is the £36,750 Lexus part of your spokesperson fee?
Just before Christmas 2015, Hollywood actor Jude Law was unveiled as the face of Lexus. The Talented Mr. Ripley actor (nobody remembers him as Dr. Watson in Sherlock Holmes anymore) partnered Lexus for 'The Life RX', a series of TV commercials aimed to showcase the sophistication and refinement of the all-new Lexus RX.
Proving his loyalty to the Lexus brand, Jude Law bought a brand new Lexus for his girlfriend. He timed the delivery of the rather special gift just before Valentine's Day and, like a true gentleman, had it delivered right to her doorstep.
So who's Jude Law's latest squeeze, and what type of Lexus did he get for her?
The lucky lady is 29-year old business psychologist Phillipa Coan, with whom Jude Law was rumoured to have started seeing since May 2014. And on 9 February, 5 days before the prices of roses shot through the roof and restaurants only offered fixed dinner sets for love-struck couples, a white lorry with a Lexus logo stopped right outside her house in central London. The back doors swung open, the ramps lowered, and a shiny black Lexus IS 300h was professionally reversed onto the driveway. And this is the F-Sport version, mind you.
Fully optioned, the Lexus IS 300h F Sport costs £36,750. By any measure that's a staggering amount to pay for a Valentine's Day gift, but I doubt Jude Law paid much (or any) of the sticker price, given his close relationship with Lexus, which began with 'The Life RX' campaign.
Lucky Phillipa Coan looked quietly impressed and wasted no time climbing onto the driver's seat to check out the luxurious gift on the inside. Meanwhile, boyfriend Jude Law stood out in the frigid cold, probably feeling rather pleased with himself, at how happy he made her.
And as soon as the delivery lorry left, so too did the couple. With Phillipa at the wheels, Jude Law riding shot gun, they took the brand new car for a spin around the block.
I guess when you're a Lexus ambassador, they won't make you collect your new car at the dealership, would they? So thanks Jude, for making us guys seem we did jack all for our girlfriends this year. :-D
Cheers!
All Lexus
