Roger Federer cannot be seen
Roger Federer is just not lucky: this time he got a Hollywood star for his Switzerland commercial - but there is not much to see.

"I'm at a loss for words," Roger Federer apologizes, "I didn't expect that."
Actress and Oscar winner Anne Hathaway is also upset: "I now understand why Bob canceled."
But the director doesn't want to know anything about it. They have created "a masterpiece", the chemistry between Federer and Hathaway is "electrifying"! And you had to frame all of that with the wonderful Swiss landscape. "Like a postcard."
But if everything was only taken in wide angle and you don't recognize him, Federer, anyway: why did you have to walk over the glacier 22 times? And swim in the ice-cold lake? "This is crazy!"
Who needs Roger Federer? Switzerland is just too beautiful
Well, you will have guessed it: Of course, Federer and Hathaway are not really evil.
The two stood in front of the camera for a commercial for Switzerland Tourism. And the tenor of it all: Switzerland is simply too beautiful to waste a commercial with close-ups of Federer and Hathaway. "Anne and Roger learned it the hard way. But nobody beats the big tour through Switzerland!" That's what they say at the end.
Switzerland was too perfect for Robert de Niro
The spot follows on seamlessly from the first part : Here Federer had tried to persuade Robert de Niro to shoot - "Bob", as Hathaway made the nice connection to part 1. De Niro's reason for rejection at the time: "Switzerland is just too perfect."
Of course, one big question remains: Which Hollywood star will make himself available for a third part?
