Andre Agassi Image Is Everything, Canon (1990)

One of the most successful ad campaigns by Canon. This commercial became the target of the sports media's critcizm in the early 90s - often accusing Andre of endorsing style over substance. How wrong they were. Source: tennislegendondvd.com

That arrogant, cocky, self centered, attention seeking punk arse kid! Image is everything???? He hadn't even won Wimbledon at the time and all he cares about is his image and how his mullet looks and how flamboyant he can dress, not about winning matches.

@shelleyinthecity - marketing reps from Canon wrote the script, not Andre. It was meant to be a play on words. That ad campaign haunted him for the better part of his career.

If you read his book he got nonstop grief from the press and other players for making this commercial.

I have been advised to buy a canon t2i, but I remembered the 'rebel' ad from when I was a young kid, and I hated it even then. Not sure if I am going to purchase it now.

i dont get why people are mad at agassi for this. This is supposed to be an advertisement, not real life

@shelleyinthecity how the fuck would you know?.....oh wait, you wouldn't. maybe if you'd picked up his book and read about his life instead of making assumptions you wouldn't look like such a dumb ass right now.
