How do you get your hands on something that can’t be bought? Theft, blackmail and all manner of underhand tactics spring to mind, but those options are off the table if you want to get what you desire with any shred of dignity intact.
In a new short film from British director Jake Scott for Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Jude Law finds himself with this dilemma after convincing himself he must get his hands on Giancarlo Giannini’s one of a kind 1928 luxury Italian yacht.
As the two characters sail the glittering waters of the British Virgin Islands, Law is left with few options if money is out of the equation and he wants to acquire the boat while maintaining his standing in the eyes of his friend and the boat’s owner.
While reclining on the wooden deck and sipping a fine whisky, it suddenly dawns on him: a gentleman’s wager. All he has to do to take the boat is… dance.
To break dancers, Bollywood actresses or ballerinas it would be a simple task, but for a man seemingly with two left feet, it looks like Law’s ship has sailed.
Nothing good comes easy and the best things in life all have to be fought for. In an empty London music hall, Law challenges himself to see if he has what it takes to get what he really wants… but will it be enough for Giannini to part with precious possession?
