Yitzhak Rabin
Mikhail Gorbachev
Jacques Chirac
The correct answer is Mikhail Gorbachev
So why is this answer correct? : In 1998, fast-food chain Pizza Hut enlisted the help of a non-actor for their newest ad campaign: Mikhail Gorbachev, former leader of the Soviet Union. During his time as leader, Gorbachev welcomed Western institutions such as McDonald’s into the Soviet Union for the first time. Gorbachev was initially hesitant to participate in the Pizza Hut commercial, but eventually agreed.
