The actor is the prominent advertising face for the Moto Guzzi V85 TT in 2019. This is not the first time that there is a connection between the Scotsman and the Italian brand – in 2013 he played an important role in the presentation of the Moto Guzzi California 1400 in Western Australia. His passion for motorcycling became really well known with the documentary series “Long Way Round”. The series tells in ten parts of the 115-day trip over 30,000 kilometers that Ewan McGregor undertook in 2004 with his fellow actor Charley Boorman.
David Beckham
Former soccer star David Beckham owns several bikes. The Englishman prefers classic ones with a retro look. But a Ducati Desmosedici is said to be owned by Beckham.

His passion for bikes can also be seen in cooperation with various manufacturers. For example, Beckham can be seen in some promotional videos from clothing manufacturers like Belfast.
Orlando Bloom
Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom has been used several times as an advertising character by various manufacturers. For example, “Legolas” was photographed on a converted BMW S 1000 R. Husqvarna has already won over the native Englishman. In private Bloom also seems to have something for the two manufacturers just mentioned. Most recently, he was photographed in Hollywood on a BMW R 1200 GS.
Keanu Reeves
Actor Keanu Reeves goes a little further. While David Beckham and Orlando Bloom team up with major manufacturers, Reeves owns a motorcycle brand called Arch Motorcycles. The Hollywood star is a partner of the brand and involved in the development of models such as the KRGT-1 or Method 143. Needless to say, Reeves also drives himself.
Tom Cruise

Chris Pratt
Do you remember the film Jurassic World? The new Triumph Street Scrambler was on display there for the first time but was not yet officially presented at the time. The chic bike caused a lot of enthusiasm among fans, which is why the filmmakers decided to auction one of the copies used in the film on eBay. Leading actor Chris Pratt, who also rides, got another copy.
