  • As a JDean junkie, that was extremely cool. anyone know who played Jimmy?

  • We understand that it was a 19 year old guy from Indiana, USA (the ad was Australian made). It just so happened that he was also an a assistant manager at McDonald's. Hope this helps. It's an awesome ad.

  • yep sure does. NO no cgi. was a look alike and some great lighting work. also the total creative mood of the ad builds the picture. this ad and subsequent Mac Time campaign doubled McDonalds business in Australia.

  • James Dean's Clone!

  • hi

    What does that mean?

  • He was bi-sexual. He was all about experiencing everything he could(including sex)which was taboo at the time(1950's). Most of the same-sex relationships though were of an "opportunistic" nature- to secure film/TV parts or money. But who really cares-he was a great actor & now an Americon icon.

  • Saw this on a show reel today for the first time in about 15 years. Still a great ad. Why can't Maccas commission something like this instead of the crap they pass up nowadays?
