Del Toro fronts ice cream campaign

Benicio Del Toro has signed up to be the face of a new Magnum Gold advertising campaign.

The Hollywood actor will take over from Eva Mendes and Eva Longoria, who have previously appeared in ads for the ice cream company.

Del Toro's TV spots celebrating the "indulgent" Madagascan vanilla and caramel treats will air in the UK from next month.

The Puerto Rico-born actor's big screen credits include The Usual Suspects, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Wolfman.
