In a revealing new ad, Hugh Jackman appears to be confused about the terms of his endorsement agreement with Australian boot brand R.M. Williams. He’s under the impression that his agreement to only wear R.M. Williams boots means that’s literally all he’s allowed to wear, and lauds the brand in near nudity while discussing it with a company executive.

Get an eye-full of the entire… endorsement package.

Can’t get enough Hugh Jackman? This spot quickly follows another funny ad appearance by the star in a Ryan Reynolds-narrated ad for Jackman’s Laughing Man coffee brand.

Pantone is celebrating the billions of people on the planet who menstruate with a bright red hue released in partnership with Intimina for the intimate wellbeing brand’s campaign “Seen+Heard.” The color, aptly named “Period,” aims to end the stigma of the bodily function by helping people feel comfortable with their bodies and teaching them about menstrual care.

More about the campaign: It also includes a donation to an international charity for women and girls.

Related: Facebook extended its election ad policies, announcing it will ban ads that executives believe “delegitimize the outcome of an election” and will formally ban ads that promote QAnon conspiracy theories.

Without big-ticket movies in theaters as planned, TV shows and video games are inspiring the most popular Halloween costume options this year. That means you’re likely to see revelers and trick-or-treaters donning digs modeled after people and characters from Netflix’s Tiger King, Fortnite and Overwatch. But one other notable category is showing up in greater volume too: real-life heroes like doctors and nurses.

Back to the classics: In a dearth of new popular film characters, some people are turning to old favorites.
