Can't say I've ever got excited about a men's deodorant advertisement before but mid-life is one long, rocky dirt track of surprises. The current French team may have dramatically exited the World Cup but former player/poet turned actor, Eric Cantona, 44, has teamed up with L'Oréal Paris to launch a brand spanking new range of deodorants. England can keep their mascot, David Beckham and his M&S suit. That's Not My Age is more than happy with Monsieur Cantona and his sweet smelling armpits. Cantona is 'a man who understands the importance of keeping cool under extreme pressure.' A man who 'wants to take control of his life.' A man who may need the money from an anti-perspirant ad (?) And, in what is probably not his best poem ever, the football legend says:
Ooh, er!
So, in preparation for our holiday in France next week, I've very kindly bought Monsieur That's Not My Age a summer gift. No, not another pair of harem pants, some 48-hour anti-perspirant with NEW sweat captor technology so that he can smell fresh, intensely woody and just like Eric. Ooh la la!
Are you in complete control of your body, your sensations?

If I bought the Panther of News some, would he start channeling his inner Eric?
I am ashamed to say that Eric Cantona is in my subconscious Wish List.....along with *whispers* Dan Snow, Giles Coren, Chris Packham, Prof Brian Cox.....and, inexplicably, Dan Cruikshank, George Alagiah and *cough* Hugh Edwards.
Look, I didn't say I was PROUD of the list!!

Ahhh, France next week. Lucy you. Where in France are you going? Enjoy Xxxx
I'm never in control of my body sensations if Mr Cantona is around!
EA - mais oui!
AC - You can have prof Brian Cox, Eric Cantona is mine!
MDS - me neither. I was moved to tears when I saw him (close up) at the 'Looking for Eric' Q&A.
In answer to your question - not if I cough LOL x Love Eric!
LOL...He is very good looking...Have a wonderful day ...Thanks for making me smile:)
Hmmm, it would take more than a can of antiperspirant to get me in control of my body or my 'sensations'! Lol - whatever does he mean?
Crumbs, he has improved with age! It's disgustingly unfair how that happens to men..........
"Can't say I've ever got excited about a men's deodorant advertisement before but mid-life is one long, rocky dirt track of surprises" - this is the funniest quote I've read in a long time. Love it. Thanks for making me laugh out loud at the end of a loooooooooooong dull midweeker. x
LF - Oh how we love all our mid-life malfunctions!
GG - he has, but then Monsieur wasn't bad when he was younger - I still have a miniature Cantona shrine in the bathroom.
WeShop - ah thanks!
你真的很棒~謝謝分享囉~......................................................................
Hysterical!
He is improving with age. I think he is growing into his nose, if that makes sense.
