Brad Pitt’s New Chanel No. 5 Ad Receives Negative Reviews (VIDEO)

Folling in the footsteps of Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Paradis, Candice Bergen, and Catherine Deneuve, Brad Pitt is now the new face of Chanel No. 5 ads.

Brad Pitt becomes the first male star to endorse a female perfume as he signs a $7 million deal to be the face of Chanel No. 5's new advertising campaign.

"To keep a legend fresh, you always have to change its point of view," Andrea d'Avack, president of Chanel Fragrance & Beauty, told WWD. "It is the first time we've had a man speaking about a women's fragrance."

Pitt signed on with the label in May to do a commercial and print ad for the legendary fragrance.

"We think very much that the perfume is a seduction between a man, a woman and the perfume," d'Avack said. "No.5 is our leading fragrance, and we are willing to make the investment to keep it on that level."

Pitt's $7 million gig featured him performing a dramatic monologue, which left most viewers more tickled than they were touched. But YouTube viewers didn't seem too pleased with the ad and left behind many negative reviews.
