The Manchester United footballing legend Eric Cantona swims the English Channel in the new Kronenbourg advert.

Or so he’d like us to think! Let’s just say there is a luxury yacht and soothing music involved.

The campaign, which has Cantona make a reference to his Manchester United days, was created by Ogilvy & Mather under the Twitter hashtag #LeBigSwim. Whilst the first video sees Cantona crossing the Channel – with a little help from a huge yacht – the follow up video sees him arriving at Dover to a rather subdued crowd.

The campaign was live for over a month and was met with positive reviews and high activity on social media. Some major news outlets believed the campaign was a real promise by Cantona!
