Is it too soon for some festive cuteness? Because British retailer Marks & Spencer has premiered a lovely festive TV commercial featuring Tom Holland as the voice of Percy Pig.
Percy Pig is the name of a popular pink gummy candy line that was launched by M&S in 1992. This is the first time, however, that we have ever heard him speak.
In the commercial, we see Percy being awakened in the middle of the night by a Christmas fairy voiced by Dawn French. She proceeds to show Percy some of the delicious food items in the M&S Christmas range.
"I’ve loved Percy Pigs for as long as I can remember, and when I was asked to be his voice – his first ever voice – it took me less than a second to say yes," Holland told Metro. “Getting the snort right was a challenge, but I hope I nailed it and you all like what you hear! I did consider asking for a lifetime supply of Percy Pigs but I figured I’ve got to save room for all of that amazing M&S Christmas food!”
You can check out the commercial below – but be warned, it might make you hungry. We don’t have too long to wait for our next glimpse of Tom Holland in non-porcine form: Spider-Man: No Way Home is in theaters December 17.Do you think Tom Holland was well cast as the voice of Percy Pig?
