Here is a list of commercials John Legend has played in.
Bailey's (2008)
Note: For Baileys, the No. 1-selling brand of liqueur in the world, Legend was born to shill Irish Cream. "It's just a match made in heaven," said Melissa Woodbury, brand manager for Baileys. "Baileys is sensual and smooth. John Legend's music can be the same thing." Baileys is in its second year of partnering with the Springfield R&B sensation. The brand started out as his fall 2006 tour sponsor — at which point it also named a martini in his honor — and continued that role this fall with the Baileys Get Together Tour with John Legend and Friends. As part of its holiday campaign, Legend also is appearing in a 15-second TV spot that encourages responsible drinking.
