Australian swimming coach Dean Boxall features in Vodka Passionfruit drinks campaignÂ
The Australian swimming coach Dean Boxall has been spotted in the campaign for a new vodka drink. He is the new face of an adult beverage company Brookvale Union's new Vodka Passionfruit drink.
The 2021 Swimming Australia - Youth Coach of the Year is known for his zealous and expressive reactions and celebrations on the pool deck.
His exuberant celebration after Ariarne Titmus' gold medal in the women's 400m freestyle at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics took the internet by storm. The campaign features Boxall packing the boxes in his distinctive manner, with the same enthusiasm and passion that he exhibits as a coach.
He is seen performing his signature hip-thrusting and fist-pumping celebration in the campaign. The video ends with Boxall sitting on his chair enjoying a sip of the drink and saying:
"Man, it's good."
