It’s common knowledge that Tom Hiddleston has been a big fish in the entertainment pond for years, thanks to his spellbinding take on Loki, the God of Mischief, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This British thespian has also graced the screen with a commanding presence, for example, taking on the title role in Coriolanus.

But have you ever been mesmerized by his flawless dance moves, which were famously displayed on the chat show Alan Carr: Chatty Man? And while we’re at it, let’s not leave Robert Downey Jr. out in the cold. Although he could not compete with Hiddleston’s dance skills, Downey Jr. did light up the screen with his electric dance moves in a OnePlus commercial.
Robert Downey Jr. Danced Like Nobody’s Watching in This OnePlus Ad
In 2019, OnePlus decided to swing for the fences and recruit none other than Iron Man himself. The Chinese premium handset maker, never one to shy away from aiming high, enlisted Robert Downey Jr.—the man who has become synonymous with the armored superhero—to headline their promotional blitz (see The Verge).
The move was a masterstroke, as OnePlus was rolling out its flagship devices: the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro. But it’s not just about having a famous face fronting the campaign. OnePlus hit the jackpot with one of the ads featuring Downey Jr., where the Hollywood icon showcased his lighter side (see YouTube).
In this gem of an advertisement, we saw Downey Jr. taking a break from his acting duties to plug in his Bullets Wireless earphones and bust a move. The scene quickly turned into a joyous, spontaneous dance party as a tour group joined in, grooving along with the star. It was as heartwarming as it was hilarious, and it’s no wonder the ad has racked up a whopping 62 million views.

Pete Lau, the co-founder and CEO of OnePlus, had the following to say about the collaboration (via Times Now):
We, at OnePlus believe in having a laser focus in everything we do and in doing whatever it takes to create an exceptional experience for our community. Working with Robert Downey Jr, we see that these ideologies are reflected in him as well, in his creativity and dedication.
Downey Jr. himself was equally enthusiastic about the partnership. He remarked:
It’s cool to see a young brand disrupting the tech landscape.
While some may argue that the Sherlock Holmes star may not be as good as Tom Hiddleston, there’s no denying the impact of Downey Jr.’s presence in this OnePlus commercial. The ad’s runaway success with 62 million views is a clear sign of the actor’s irresistible charm, proving that he is a real crowd-pleaser.
