As he shows a social media post from someone called “Steve” bemoaning the similarities to other loaves in the shops, Jackson, as Jonathan Warburton, says: “Sometimes you need Samuel L. Jackson to play you in a commercial because when I see this, from Steve, up in my socials, it unleashes a furious anger within me.”

The advert then runs through the effort that goes into a Warburtons loaf, deeming that it’s tested for softness, “butter-ability” and “bounce-back-ability”. “That’s a thing,” Jackson exclaims.

After the advert debuted on Wednesday (September 20), viewers on X (formerly Twitter) have praised the actor’s involvement.

“Holy moly, Warburtons have knocked this clean out of the bakery. Park. Whatever,” one viewer wrote.

Another added: “I’m a simple woman. Samuel L. Jackson says eat Warburtons toastie loaf and I listen. Please use this superpower for good, Mr Jackson.”

Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone and George Clooney have all previously starred in adverts for the bakery brand.

Jackson, meanwhile, is rumoured to be starring in Quentin Tarantino’s next film The Movie Critic, alongside his former Pulp Fiction co-star John Travolta and Paul Walter Hauser.
