In 2003, a commercial aimed at the UK markets was filmed, featuring soccer player Thierry Henry and Animal. It screened in cinemas in mid-November 2003 before airing on television. The 38-second spot, which is black and white apart from color effects, featured Henry stressing how the new Clio has "va va voom." The spot culminated in Henry practicing drums in a club, only to be interrupted by an energetic Animal. Olivier Généreux, Director of Marketing at Renault UK, commented on the cameo: Animal was puppeteered by Nigel Plaskitt, with assistance from Mak Wilson.
