Celebrity Peanut Ads

Robert Downey Jr. Stars as the New Mr. Peanut

— November 26, 2010 — Lifestyle
Robert Downey Jr. has decided to lend his considerable acting skills to Planters this holiday season as the voice of the new Mr. Peanut. RDJ brings personality to the peanut while also reminding us that no holiday party is complete without Planters nuts.

I could take or leave the peanuts, but I love the new Mr. Peanut. RDJ's cool and clever personality shines through here as Mr. Peanut suavely roams throughout the room, even managing to keep a straight face as a nutcracker comes calling.
