padma lakshmi 3 468x360 Padma Lakshmi in Hardees Hamburger Commercial

Can you eat an hamburger, wearing a chic dress, sparkling jewels and sophisticated accessories, as if you had been invited to an elegant dinner party?

She can! Padma Lakshmi, Indian actress and former model, did an ad for Hardee’s Hamburger where, in slow motion, she sites on a stoop, hikes up her skirt and takes big mouthfuls of a Western Bacon Thickburger.

“I think it’s a beautiful love song to food,” Padma Lakshmi says of her new ad. “I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction.”
