Would you star in a commercial?

Wait, how much does it pay?

You have to be a bit crazy to do that.

Well it’s not like she free climbed up there and she’s clearly strapped pretty good. I certainly wouldn’t do it for fun, but if the price is right…..

Same, can I unhook and go off at the end?

The funny thing is Im jelly legged from about 25-50 feet but above that something just doesnt click in my brain that its real. Ive peed off the edge of a tall building, climbed out on a suspension bridge tower, and used to skydive all of the time.

Looking down from those heights kind of seems like a video game map or something.

I have very little fear if you pay me enough - i can buy new pants to replace the ones i shit while filming that thing. Although it’s odd that after all that effort for realism, most of that commercial still looks green-screened.

Also, I have very little shame if you pay me enough - i only draw the line at doing perfume commercials. Why is every single one of those the stupidest thing the human mind can imagine?

I actually did this a few months ago!!

Well - from the inside, lol. I visited Dubai in September, and one of the things I had to do was to go up the Burj Khalifa

The elevator takes around one minute to go up all 124 floors to the observatory, and has a projection system playing on the walls, which mimics the outside as you go up which is cool. There are other floors above 124, but they're not for the general public (I think they're corporate suites, etc). On the deck you can actually walk up to 125 which we did, so you can get slightly higher and look down onto the deck. See some pics I took below.

Before I went, a buddy of mine told me to prepare to be sick as it 'wobbles' when you're at the top there - but i felt no wobble at all.

All in all, a great experience if you happen to visit Dubai.

I'll go with you on the perfume ads, I posted one where a couple jump from a building together after splashing some perfume on. Marketing men ..sheesh.

My parents were approached to put me in as a Gerber baby.

They didn't want to "exploit" me.

Not only no, but hell no! I hate commercials!

I could tolerate TV commercials a few decades ago, simply because there was only one or two every 15 minutes or so. Today, there's 10 of them every 10 minutes.
