The only high-profile story occurred in 2011, when the British advertising standards Committee (ASA) took the initiative to ban the L’oreal advertising campaign, which was represented by Rachel Weisz.

At the age of 14, Weisz worked as a model. It is known that her parents did not allow the girl to star in the film by Richard Gere “King David”.
