Have I imagined this TV Advert?

Other night (think it was Friday) I'm positive there was an advert on ITV which had Rutger Hauer as himself receiting the Roy Batty rooftop speech.

Did anyone else see this or have I totally imagined it? If it's real, any ideas what it was for?

LOL!!!! Was it Sir Anthony Hopkins? Didn't 'see' it, just heard it from the other end of the room.

Oh well, ½ right. Cheers.

See i like it because it made me pay attention, amazing speech and excellently delivered in the ad, but it's a rubbish ad as i can't even remember what it was for!

Guess it shows why most ads are annoying these days, i remember what 'WE BUY ANY CAR!' is for

Took me a couple of double takes to realise it was him, he looks like he has spent too much time in the LA sun, blotches and funny patches all over his bald head. Great actor mind, one of the best.

It's one of my favourite quotes of all time, from one of my favourite movies of all time.
