EastEnders' Barry goes topless for TV comeback on cleaning ad remake of iconic 1980s Levi's 'Laundre
EASTENDERS' Barry Evans has made his prime time telly comeback - by getting his kit off in a new advert.
Shaun Williamson, who played hapless Barry in the BBC One soap, strips off to just his pants in the commercial, which is a spoof of the famous 1980s Levi's ad.
The advert begins with Shaun arriving at a launderette in dark sunglasses, before heading inside and taking his boots and top off.
He then proceeds to remove his belt and slip off his jeans, just as the handsome male model did in the iconic Levi's commercial.
Again, like the 1980s ad, two women look on and giggle while an older lady stuffs a cake into her mouth as she gawps in shock.
But while no-one questioned the dark-haired heartthrob in the 80s, as he strutted through the launderette in his white underpants, the music suddenly cuts out in Shaun's ad.
A lady in glasses then asks: "Excuse me, love? Are you doing washing like that?"
Defiantly, Shaun replies: "Yes, I am."
She then suggests he uses Dr. Beckmann Colour & Dirt Collector sheets to prevent his colours from running.
After popping one in the machine, Shaun wanders over to a bench and sandwiches himself between four other customers - just like the model in the Levi's advert did more than three decades ago.
Dr. Beckmann UK has shared the commercial online, writing: "Watch how Barry from Eastenders (Shaun Williamson) avoided a major washing disaster in our hilariously sexy video using Dr. Beckmann's Colour & Dirt Collector."

Levi's iconic advert for its 501 jeans first hit TV screens on Boxing Day in 1985.
Titled 'Launderette', the commercial starred model Nick Kamen and the brand hoped it would target a more younger shopper.
In 2000, the advert was voted number four in a poll of the top 100 adverts of all time.
