"CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON" STAR MAKES HIGH MOVES
FOR MILK
Zhang Ziyi Slashes Through the Scene as She Stars in Her Own Milk Mustache
Ad
WASHINGTON (May 7, 2002) - Zhang Ziyi, famous for her
super-human martial
arts stunts in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Rush
Hour 2," is
getting her kicks from calcium-rich milk. Ziyi leapt into the spotlight
as
the latest celebrity to join the "got milk?"®/Milk Mustache
campaign to show
how easy it is to get the nutrients and calcium in milk to fuel an active
lifestyle.
Ziyi's ad will debut in the May 13 issue of US Weekly.
The ad copy
reads, "9 essential nutrients in every easy-to-open bottle. got
milk?"
Fun new milk flavors and convenient packaging make it even easier
than ever for teens to get the nutrients their growing bodies need.
The
nine essential nutrients in milk help provide fuel for high-endurance
exercise and gravity-defying leaps.
"Zhang is an ideal role model because she knows
the importance of drinking
milk to help pack a powerful punch," said Kurt Graetzer, CEO of
the "got
milk?"®/Milk Mustache campaign. "Unfortunately, nearly
nine out of 10 teen
girls and almost seven out of 10 teen boys don't make the cut when it
comes
to getting enough calcium."
Zhang's ad helps educate teens about the total nutrient
package found in
milk. The National Academy of Sciences recommends that teenagers get
at
least 1,300 milligrams of calcium per day, or the equivalent of at least
four 8-ounce glasses of milk.
