Celeste Khumalo On Being An Extra On A POND’s Commercial to Later Becoming Their Global Face

Celeste Khumalo On Being An Extra On A POND’s Commercial to Later Becoming Their Global Face. This is what the meant by starting from the bottom going all the way up. Celeste Khumalo has just revealed that she started off as an extra, to be where she is today.

Normally extras appear in a film or television shows, but have no lines. Movie extras usually appear in the background, but a director can place them anywhere in a scene as needed. Extras can also feature in adverts, as it was the case with Celeste.

The former Miss SA Teen, model, actress and brand ambassador remembers her days as an extra in a POND’s commercial. This beautiful memory came after MaBlerh shared the advert on Twitter. Celeste was among those who commented, where she revealed she was one of the people walking in the background.

Clearly not many people noticed her, as she wasn’t the main act. But one thing for sure, Celeste caught the attention of the brand. In 2015, she became the brand ambassador for POND’S skincare brand. Other female personalities who have been faces for the popular skin care brand, include Ayanda Thebethe and Thembi Seete.

“I was an extra in this commercial. Part of the people walking in the background. I was a little girl. I wished to be like her. Many years later, in my late teens early twenties, I became a global face of the same brand,” Celeste said.
