Gary Oldman makes a rare appearance in an ad for the new HTC One M8 (http://mashable.com/2014/03/25/htc-one-m8/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) smartphone, challenging viewers to "ask the Internet" about the device.

Oldman, a respected actor with a fervent Reddit following (http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/13770q/gary_oldman_the_most_**ntypecast_actor/), doesn't claim to k**w much about the phone. In one spot, called "Blah Blah Blah" (watch below), he says, "It doesn't matter what I say, because the all-new HTC One is designed for people who form their own opinions."

The ads come after HTC drafted an even bigger star, Robert Downey Jr., for an odd, expensive ad campaign (http://mashable.com/2013/08/12/robert-downey-jr-htc/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) that played on the brand's acronym moniker. It joked that HTC stood for "hot tea catapult" and "humongous tinfoil catamaran." Read more...
