Not really a celebrity

My 13 year old son was picked to do the Qld Government’s ‘Talking Families’ commercial for TV and the web. He sits fishing with a couple of men at a jetty. He was chuffed and he thinks he is now a celebrity! Very good experience for him though.

    That’s great to hear, well done to him! That will be something he will be ale to look back on for years to come! i always wanted an opportunity like that when i was a kid!

    He’s a tad embarrassed but secretly he’s thrilled.

    Wow good for your son Vickianne……maybe more work down the track. I’m in Qld but not sure if I’ve seen the ad yet……will have to look out for it.
    I used to have friends where their boy started off in commercials then ended up in some TV drama shows. He did very well. I’m sure you would be extremely proud of him. You never know…..might see him on some other ads again 🙂

    Thank you so much he’s a happy boy.

    Wow, that’s so exciting! What a great thing for him to be a part of! Congratulations!

    Wow, that’s pretty exciting for him, Vickianne! No wonder he thinks he’s a celeb, to be chosen out of all of the others! He must really have something 🙂 Good for him, what a confidence boost too! I’d be super proud & excited! I was in QLD recently and noticed how many tv commercials were on relating to family issues, talking through problems, dads being involved with kids, etc. My hubby and I were amazed actually, because I’ve never seen a single ad like that here in Perth :/ The QLD government must really be taking family/personal health and well-being seriously.
