Having a real-life run-in with your [favorite star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag) is unfortunately highly unlikely so these [Toshiba](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-tv) 3D ads offer a satisfactory solution. Marketing a fancy hi-tech television screen that broadcasts the physical world with extraordinary depth, this campaign guarantees for the viewer the feeling that he's actually in the heat of the action.

The Ganem advertising agency of Mexico put together these prints which comprise photographs of three people with their wrists handcuffed behind their backs. A tight frame makes it difficult to discern the complete scene in front of them, but one can guess that Brad Pitt, [Ronaldo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/own-the-moment), President Obama and their security detail are certainly present. Tagged with "As close as you'll ever get" to famous people, these Toshiba 3D ads assert that the manacles are sold separately.
