Anything He Can Do Claire Danes Can Do Better?

For the first 25 seconds of this new Gap commercial starring Claire Danes and Patrick Wilson (Phantom of the Opera, Little Children, does that help?), I was wondering about and slightly annoyed by Claire's lack of pants. Then, all of a sudden, it made sense. It may not be the ad that helped bring back swing dancing, but it's pretty darn cute.

    I hate Claire Danes: she's a good enough actress but she can't seem to keep it in her pants for long.

    Adorable. When I was watching the commericial the other day I was like, "Yo is that Claire Danes? Cool cameo." She looks like she knows her ballet.

    the people's voices in the song are ANNOYING!!
    but the commercial is very cute.
    i don't mind claire danes, why does everyone hate her?
    she seems very low key, at least she's not acting like britney spears

    Isn't that Ethel Merman singing? She's amazing. Unfortunatly that big Broadway voice does just NOT translate to a dinky commercial.

    Gee I thought the GAP was trying to improve it's image? Using that icky Claire Danes sure wasn't a smart move. At her best she is a one note actress,(too self reflective-yet a drama princess) So not a dancer or spokesperson at all. Why???

    I always forget Claire is a trained dancer, until she busts out her Ballet moves. I really like her.

    I love it, it's so cute !!!

    I think Claire Danes is actually a pretty good actress - not a fan of some of her personal choices (like hooking up with Billy Crudup while his girlfriend was pregnant...)

    I have never gotten over Clare Danes in My So-Called Life... I thought the commercial was cute, but I wish she could have worn the pants more.

    Cute! It reminds me of the old Gap ads I used to love, with everyone dancing and stuff. Nice!

    Luxifer, no, that's not Billy Crudup (Almost Famous, Big Fish), like Molly wrote it's Patrick Wilson, he's married to an actress who was in Count of Monte Cristo, 24, etc. forget her name.

    The Gap always uses celebrities in their ads like this, that's why they chose these two. I like it, I think it's a really cute commercial.

    She has good foot work on her jumps, but her arms kind of flop. I really liked her in her younger years, but I lose respect for actresses that always hook up with their co-stars.

    I saw that commercial last night with my husband. It got our attention. I thought it was cute and I think he did too. In the event that he did actually think it was cute he would never tell me so, lol.

    Claire Danes is awesome. I loved My So Called Life. I miss that show. I wonder if they have it on dvd? . . . hmm . . .

    Patrick Wilson's wife better watch her back around Claire Dane's. Given her personal history.

    :-/

    When I first saw the commercial I was like aww she looks like Claire Danes! I didn't actually think it was her- I had no idea she was a dancer. She's so cute! I loved her in The Family Stone (I think that's the name? w/ Sarah Jessica Parker)
