Ethan Ruan Dons Period Attire for the First Time for a Pepsi CF

Ethan Ruan’s next project, the big-budgeted HK/C period movie The Flying Guillotine, has had its start date for filming pushed back a couple of times now. So Ethan’s been chilling by doing endorsements in the Mainland, and he recently filmed another CF for Pepsi as one of their Mainland spokesmodels.

This CF marks Ethan’s first time in period historical attire for any project, and damn does the boy look fine. I wasn’t sure Ethan could pull off the armour and warrior look, because he’s so darn pretty, but surprisingly he does. The CF itself is really cute as well, so have a watch.

In the CF, Ethan plays an unidentified warrior who goes to extreme lengths for a bottle of Pepsi. Which apparently bestows martial arts abilities in the form of a powerful burp. Pepsi is purposely keeping the identity of his character a secret and is inviting fans to guess by logging on to the Pepsi China fan forum, which is a brilliant interactive idea. It could be either a real historical figure, or a famous novel figure.

  Yes. They’ve been together since 2004. Ethan’s acting debut was delayed because his agency wanted them to break up but he wouldn’t. They are probably the most high profile TW-ent couple since Vic and Barbie broke up.

From looking at the weapon I’d guess his character is Guan Yu

ethan is so sexy….but i miss his tandem with joe chen in FTLY.
i still think that his chemistry with joe chen is the best…wish they will still have a chance
to pair up in the future…
sad that joe chen is more active in mainland china now doing movies…
