The star of the iconic ‘Solo Man’ Schweppes drink ad has been arrested for alleged drug activity in Cambodia, after earlier prison terms in the same country and in Thailand.

 

Mark Robert Coutelas was once the face of the Schweppes fizzy lemon drink Solo, featuring in a popular mid-1980s TV commercial series, Solo Lemon, The Thirst Crusher.

It's more sad when they dig up something from 40 years ago to make a connection in an otherwise boring story.

It was just a commercial 

Don't do Solo!

Lot of previous on this guy surely a known head from back in the day here in Thailand?

 

Pure riff raff and Cambodia has a lot of these types I reckon. Real murkers, maybe the posters here should take a trip there and maybe we would all be that more polite to one another. Different breed there chaps.

Yes, once a C***H*** always a CH.

when it comes to the Cell Door Bolt

 

- they'll "Slam it Down, Fast"

Judging by some of the many ladies he keeps company with on his social media pages (shown on some other news sites), this guy still has no shortage of energy.  Must be still slamming down those Solo's.  

 

That ad was so good he will always be the Solo man, no matter what stupid things he may do.
