The reign of queen Lee Lin Chin continues, and this morning, her newest conquering feat has been unveiled – a starring role in the suitably epic Australia Day Lamb 2016 commercial.
Per the commercial, Chin is our nation’s newest “lambassador”, and her role is to head up an elite, Zero Dark Thirty-like squad, extracting Aussies from overseas so they won’t have to go without lamb on Australia day.
The likes of Sam Kekovich, Mitchell Johnson, Stephen Moore, George Calombaris and a Princess Mary lookalike – or possibly the actual Princess Mary, who knows? – also appear.
Andrew Howie of Meat and Livestock Australia told Mumbrella that they searched for a number of potential “lambassadors” following the death of Richie Benaud last year, before hitting on Lee Lin Chin as the perfect choice.
“The idea is there are certain key holidays across the calendar where Australians abroad get home sick – they are forced to play a game of cricket in the car park in New York and that sort of thing. I think Lee Lin Chin is really an unexpected hero.”
The ad, released online this morning, will his TV screens tomorrow. Soak it up:
