In the most natural prankster manner, the video man captured how Roger Federer knocked a can off a crew’s head twice through high speed tennis balls. The stunt was performed and captured during Roger’s Gillette and British Skin Foundation photo shoot.
A casual conversation with one of the crew members led to the stunt. As anyone would, the crew man got nervous and dropped the can several times before he managed to stabilized it on his head.
In my opinion, the stunt looks real and was captured in the most natural manner. But it didn’t stop the classical YouTube debate of whether the stunt was another set up to generate buzz and talking point. One thing for sure, the video went viral and has accumulated over 6 million views to date. Debates go on – Real or fake, advertisers are surely happily smiling away.
