Heineken Odyssey 3Heineken today launch a brand new advertising campaign called ‘The Odyssey’ which celebrates the idea that every man is legendary at something. Your skill might not be globally celebrated, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t the holder of a skill that few could match.

Heineken casted 20 non-actors who had a particularly unusual skill to show off for their advertisement, this first time they have used non-actors. To add a twist to proceedings they use the premise that trolls online have said that all the skills are fake or camera tricks, so they show the casting tapes, so that you can see them as they did. From bird calling to sliding, dancing, acrobatics, taking clothes off quickly, lady throwing and so much more.

Now Heineken are looking for you to show that you too have a skill like no other, that you are a legend in your chosen / niche field. You pop on over to http://www.heineken.com/irishlegend and you submit a video of yourself performing your skill. If your video is chosen as the winner, you will win a holiday to Paradise Island, Belize for you and a mate. You can also submit your video via email to irishlegend@heinekenmail.ie.

Check out the brilliant video below and see some of the incredible skills some of these guys possess and if you think you have something in your locker to match or beat these guys, get it down on video and send it in. It could be your ticket to paradise courtesy of Heineken.

This advert was filmed in Barcelona and the ship was built in a car park beside the beach for the shoot. Gotta hand it to them, it looks fairly realistic. The pool on the boat is only 10 foot deep, which required a specially skilled diver for such shallow water. Awesome skills. The boat might be fake, the skills are real though. The song in the advert is 16 Toneladas by Noriel Vilela.
