The Great Gatsby Obsession

Calvin Klein created four 30-second commercials that loosely interpreted scenes from classic novels: Ernest Hemingway’s ”The Sun Also Rises,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ”The Great Gatsby,” D.H. Lawrence’s ”Women in Love,” and Gustave Flaubert’s ”Madame Bovary.” Each advert begins with a title identifying the author, is in black and white, and the vignette is narrated using a brief passage from the book.  In an amazing coincidence, the actor who play ‘Gatsby’ in the advert should be a familiar face … who is he and where do you recognise him from?
