An Ultimate Adult Pursuit, Expressed with British Wit
The 6-and-a-half-minute short film embodies Johnnie Walker's brand spirit of "KEEP WALKING." It tells the story of two gentlemen who make a wager for a truly precious experience.
The story begins on the island of St. Lucia, where Jude Law and Giancarlo Giannini are seen enjoying "Johnnie Walker Blue Label" while cruising on a unique boat amidst breathtaking ocean views.
The gentleman portrayed by Jude Law is determined to acquire a certain boat, which is not for sale. What secret strategy will he employ to obtain this unpurchasable vessel? The "Gentleman's Wager," rich with British humor, is about to begin.
Jude Law, who plays a gentleman earnestly challenging himself for the "unpurchasable," commented: "I am always conscious of continuously striving and advancing myself. For me, 'The Gentleman's Wager' tells all of that. Through filming this movie, I was able to learn new skills myself. The character I played is someone who takes on a challenge to obtain something rare. Working with Jake and Giancarlo for the shoot was also a wonderful experience."
