Justin Long Continues ‘Get a Mac’ Commercials

Justin Long as written on his personal blog that he is continuing to be the “Mac guy” contrary to reports over the weekend.

In addition to confirming that he will continue to star in Apple commercials, Justin also mentioned that he will be in some “holiday spots” for Apple.

as for the mac commercials, i don’t know where that report came from that said i wasn’t going to do anymore – i literally setting my alarm right now to wake up for a mac shoot tomorrow – if i’m not doing anymore i guess i can sleep in on my day off – that’d be nice. but yeah, we’re doing some holiday spots now which i think will be pretty funny – not nearly funny enough to justifiy the money they’re paying me though, i’ll be honest with you. as for the future, i really don’t know what i’m going to do – i’m surprised, frankly, that the campaign hasn’t become tired and they’ve just ended it on their own – but i try to live as much in the present as i can considering the future doesn’t exist, i’m not really sure. they’re easy to do, i love john (the pc guy) and working with him is so effortless and fun that i definitely wouldn’t rule out doing some more – and, as i said, they pay us nicely. i don’t know – all of this is such unchartered territory for me that i’m just kind of holding on to my seat and hope i don’t fall off anytime soon.
