Catherine Zeta-Jones has been paid $5,700 a second to star in a shampoo commercial.

The Oscar-winning actress earned $2.5 million for her appearance in a seven-minute TV advertisement for Lux, a haircare line based in China and Japan.

“We wanted Catherine as we remember her in ‘Entrapment, all slinky and mysterious.” an executive at Unilever, the firm behind the commercial, told Britain’s The Sunday Times this week.

“That’s why the advert was written as a mini spy movie. Pity you won’t see it on British television. She looks pretty good in it, but that’s the deal.”

In the advert 39-year-old Catherine steals a youth-enhancing elixir from a high-security laboratory, which turns out to be Lux shampoo and is later seen shimmering down the red carpet with fabulous looking hair.
