An interesting interview with fun revelations
‘You can keep your track pants on’: The scene that haunts Leon Wadham
My earliest television crush was… There was an Instant Kiwi commercial where Daniel Gillies is a university student who hands in his paper late. He is wearing a puffer vest with nothing underneath it. I remember seeing this as a very young person in the 90s, and thinking “that is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen”. I watched it again recently, and I stand by it. Nobody has ever been that hot. Who has the confidence to just wear a puffer vest and nothing else? And then he bites this apple at the end and puts it on the desk, and I just could not believe how brazen this student was being. To this day, I’ve never encountered anyone with more charm.
The NZ TV ad I can’t stop thinking about it… Daniel Gillies, Instant Kiwi.
The most stylish person on television is… Daniel Gillies, Instant Kiwi.
