Gillette's recent UK campaigns have featured a mix of musicians, footballers, Olympic athletes and celebrities rather than unknown actors. The most prominent names in 2025-2026 activity include Tom Grennan, Ian Wright, Tom Daley, Emile Smith Rowe, and YouTube creators Chunkz and ChrisMD. Separate campaigns have also featured actresses Hannah Simone and Genesis Rodriguez, plus model Kate Upton.
Singer Tom Grennan is one of Gillette's most visible UK partners right now. He is represented by talent agency 4th Floor Creative and has appeared alongside football legend Ian Wright in a Gillette campaign. Wright is a familiar face in UK advertising, and his involvement fits Gillette's long-running association with sport and masculinity.
Tom Daley, the Olympic diver, fronted a campaign promoting Gillette's Body and Intimate Grooming Range. He described himself as part of "Team Gillette" in a TikTok post, writing that he was "Exciting to be part of Team Gillette!" Daley's profile as an openly gay athlete and advocate for men's wellbeing made him a natural fit for a grooming-focused campaign.
Ian Wright has appeared in more than one Gillette project. He featured alongside Tom Grennan in one campaign, and separately appeared with his son Shaun Wright-Phillips in a Gillette and Movember collaboration called 'Be A Men's Health Hero', focused on men's health and mental wellbeing. The father-and-son angle gave the campaign a personal dimension that straightforward product promotion rarely achieves.
Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe also featured in a Gillette Labs campaign. He appeared alongside Ian Wright, putting two generations of Arsenal-connected players in the same advert, and was joined by YouTube personalities Chunkz and ChrisMD, both of whom have large followings in the UK football content space.
Not all Gillette campaigns are aimed solely at men. According to Influencer Intelligence, actresses Hannah Simone and Genesis Rodriguez, along with model Kate Upton, have fronted a Gillette campaign. Hannah Simone is best known in the UK for her role in the US sitcom 'New Girl'. Genesis Rodriguez has appeared in several Hollywood productions, and Kate Upton is an American model with a high international profile.
Gillette's UK strategy leans on recognisable public figures rather than casting unknowns. The brand connects sport, grooming and masculinity, so athletes and footballers carry more weight with its core audience than a drama school graduate would. The Movember tie-in with Ian Wright and Shaun Wright-Phillips shows Gillette is also willing to use its platform for men's health messaging, which adds credibility beyond a straightforward product pitch.
YouTube creators like Chunkz and ChrisMD bring a younger demographic into the mix. Both have audiences that skew towards 16-to-34-year-old men, exactly the age group Gillette wants to reach for newer product lines like Gillette Labs.
If you spotted someone in a Gillette advert who is not listed above, they may be a supporting cast member rather than a named partner. Gillette's headline campaigns use celebrities, but broadcast adverts often include background performers or smaller roles filled by working actors who are not publicly announced. Sites like IMDb occasionally list commercial cast members, and Google Lens or a reverse image search can sometimes identify faces from a screenshot. If the advert ran on ITV or Channel 4, the broadcaster's ad archive may carry production credits.
Gillette UK announces new partnerships on its official Instagram and YouTube channels. Tom Daley's TikTok post is a good example of how the brand uses talent's own social channels to amplify launches. Following Gillette UK on social media is the quickest way to catch new faces as campaigns drop. TV spots often appear on YouTube a day or two before broadcast, so it is sometimes possible to see a new advert before it airs.
