London
(ANI):
Actress

roberts
has
been
paid
the
hefty
sum
of
1.14
million
pounds
to
appear
in
a
45-second
advertisement
for
Italian
coffee
house
Lavazza.
Roberts,
43,
who
is
portrayed
as
Botticelli"s
Venus
in

setting
in

a
word
in
the
ad,
which
will
be
screened
over
the
Christmas
period
in
Italy,
the
Daily
Mail
reported.
The
scene
opens
with
the
painter
at
his
wits
end
as
his
difficult
muse
refuses
to
smile
for
him
as
he
attempts
to
create
his
masterpiece,
Spring
Allegory.
The
ad
also
features
two
famous
Italian
entertainers,
Paolo
Bonolis
and
Luca
Laurenti
who
offer
the
actress
some
of
Lavazza"s
A
Modo
Mio
coffee.
After
sipping
the
coffee,
Roberts
breaks
into
her
trademark
toothy
grin
as
the
men
rejoice
around
her
and
Botticelli
excitedly
gets
to
work
to
capture
her
smile.
The
brief
advertisement
ends
with
Roberts
winking
at
the
camera.
