Who voices Kevin the Carrot? The Aldi Christmas 2020 advert has finally arrived, so let’s talk about the cast of this year’s commercial.
It has begun…
Sure, the conversation this year is more likely to take place over the phone, Skype or Zoom, but the debate will surely emerge once again.
Every year, family and friends dispute which is the best Christmas advert of the year and it’s very rare that everyone agrees in the end – that’s the fun of it!
Top contenders and annual heavyweights often spring up from the likes of John Lewis, Tesco, Marks & Spencer and beyond.
However, in more recent years, Kevin the Carrot has become somewhat of a household name and Aldi has been crowned for their charming adverts in most households.
With everything going on, getting into the Christmas spirit has arguably never been so difficult, but Kevin has dropped in on 2020 to help spread some festive cheer once more, this time evoking a number of iconic films, from Top Gun to Pirates of the Caribbean!
You all recognise the anthropomorphic veggie, but do you recognise his voice?
Who voices Kevin the Carrot?
- The character of Kevin the Carrot in the Aldi Christmas adverts is voiced by Clive Davis.
As highlighted by Campaign Live, the Kevin the Carrot spot was created by McCann UK and McCann Manchester’s executive creative director – Dave Price – addressed who the voice actor was back in 2018:
“Clive Davis, who with Andy Fenton has worked on every Kevin campaign, is actually the voice of Kevin in the ads. And, from year one, the campaign snowballed. Last year, we gave him a girlfriend, Katie, and this year we gave him an enemy in the form of the wicked parsnip.”
As you’ll know, other characters have dropped in since to make an impression.
McCann Manchester notes Clive Davis and Andy Fenton as the creative team behind the project.
Aldi Christmas 2020 advert cast
While you may not have heard of Clive Davis, you’ll surely be familiar with some of the talents aboard the 2020 Kevin the Carrot Christmas commercial.
As the humble narrator and Santa we have the one and only Jim Broadbent!
The 71-year-old is known for his roles in Harry Potter (Professor Horace Slughorn), Hot Fuzz (Inspector Frank Butterman) and more.
The Metro also highlights that Colm Meaney (Star Trek, Gangs of London) plays Santa too, with the source adding some insight from Colm himself:
“I thought it was about time that I played the big man himself and so was delighted to be asked by Aldi to be part of its Christmas campaign. Kevin the Carrot and his family were incredibly welcoming on set and the whole experience was a total joy – even getting in and out of the big red suit. This year has been incredibly challenging for everyone, but I hope that over the festive season people will be able to enjoy this special time with family and friends – and maybe the odd mince pie or turkey sandwich.”
He also clarified: “Oh, and contrary to many men during lockdown, I can confirm that the beard is not mine.”
