Athletes Recreate 'Risky Business' for ‘Guitar Hero'

— October 26, 2008 — Marketing
New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez was recently recruited for a ‘Guitar Hero: World Tour’ video commercial. He joined other famous athletes like basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and skateboarding sensation Tony Hawk to recreate the iconic 1983 scene from ‘Risky Business,’ which starred Tom Cruise.

Rodriguez, Bryant and Phelps are dressed in white boxer shorts, pink shirts and white socks. They slide into the scene to the tune of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll.” The three each came in with guitars to join Tony Hawk, who entered the scene on a skateboard to play a mock set of drums. 

‘Guitar Hero: World Tour’ will be in stores starting today.
