Would the girls give a 'dam' about Matty J's beaver ad?

Matty J may have made his reality TV debut last year on The Bachelorette, but that wasn't his first time on the small screen. Oh no.

A 2009 commercial for U by Kotex has resurfaced, showing then 22-year-old Matty.

In the spot, adman Matty J asks his girlfriend what she’d take with her if she was stranded on a desert island.

“My music, a tent, a few clothes, plenty of fluids and I’d need you for protection,” she tells him in the commercial.

He seems chuffed with being included in her answer, but when she says “you” she’s actually talking about U Ultrathins pads.

The tampon ad was part of a series by U by Kotex that featured a beaver as the brand's mascot.

The beaver received several complaints to the watchdog for its association with female genitals.

Uploaded by 'beaverchick9', the YouTube throwback has clocked up nearly 65,000 online video views.

It’s also not the first time a Bachelorette star has appeared in an advert. Check out 2015 contestant Heather Maltman’s interesting performance in this salad ad below. She also made the cut in a more recent Maccas ad.
