Los Angeles, June 01: Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones was paid a staggering 3,700 pounds a second to star in a shampoo commercial.The Oscar-winning actress earned 1.55 million pounds for the seven-minute TV advertisement for haircare product Lux which will only be broadcast in China and Japan, reported femalefirst.co.uk.

"We wanted Catherine as we remember her in `Entrapment`, all slinky and mysterious. That`s why the ad was written as a mini spy movie. She looks pretty good in it," said an executive at Unilever, the firm behind the commercial. In the ad, the 39-year-old steals a youth-enhancing elixir from a high-security laboratory, which turns out to be Lux shampoo. She is later seen shimmering down the red carpet with fabulous looking hair. IANS
