Actor Nishijima Hidetoshi and actress Ishida Yuriko have been appointed as McDonald's 2024 "Hirumakku" ambassadors, and in the new commercial "Hirumakku "Reunion"" they play fellow company employees! For the two, who have previously played romantic roles as lovers and married couples, this is their first experience playing friendly colleagues at the same company. Ishida Yuriko said with a wry smile, "I've never called him Nishijima 'kun'..." Nishijima Hidetoshi also looked troubled, saying, "I've never called him Yuri 'chan', so it feels strange," but during the line reading, he showed off his rhythmic dialogue with perfect role-playing like a veteran actor, and overwhelmed the filming staff with his performance that perfectly created the atmosphere of fellow employees. In an interview after the shoot, when asked, "If Nishijima and Ishida worked at the same company, what kind of business partners do you think they would have been?" Nishijima: "In this commercial, Ishida plays a role where he is good at his job. He has a very warm and friendly feeling (laughs). He is the type of person who puts people at ease." Ishida: "Nishijima is usually more lively. As in the drama, he is like, 'a genius, but a little absent-minded.'" Nishijima: "There are many characters who are not good at their jobs, even this time (laughs). He is just a completely unreliable person (laughs)." Ishida: "It's like we are still working at the same company, isn't it, the 'showbiz world'. If you think about it in that broad sense, I feel like we are both pretty laid-back and pursue our own worlds." Nishijima: "I guess so. I hope we are (laughs)." In a conversation that only two people who have worked together in many works can have, they revealed each other's personalities. [TV Asahi News] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
