Toyota of Kingsport

Feb 16, 2017

Toyota makes reasonably priced vehicles that practically anyone can afford. You might think that Toyota’s affordable prices make them off-limits for television stars who prefer spending large amounts of money. It turns out that plenty of stars drive Toyota vehicles simply because they understand the value of good craftsmanship.

Browse this short list of TV stars to see if any of your favorite actors prefer driving Toyota vehicles.

50 Cent Drives a Land Cruiser

50 Cent started his career as a rapper. When television producers saw his charisma, though, they featured him on several shows. For the most part, he has played himself, even on scripted shows like The SimpsonsEntourage, and Robot Chicken. 50 Cent currently plays a main role in the crime drama Power. Today, though, he prefers to go by his given name, Curtis Jackson.

Jackson has been spotted driving his Toyota Land Cruiser around New York, where he grew up and currently spends most of his downtime. The Land Cruiser makes the perfect vehicle for Jackson, who is a large man with a commanding presence.

Jessica Alba Loves Driving Her Prius in Los Angeles

Jessica Alba has won numerous awards for her work as a television and film actor. Some of her most popular roles include performances as Leanne on Beverly Hills, 90210, Sophie on an episode of The Office, and Max Guevara, a lead character on Dark Angel.

Alba does more than spend time in front of a camera. She also has commitments to several social causes, including those that aim to protect the environment. Given her concern about climate change, it’s not surprising to see her driving a Toyota Prius in her hometown, Los Angeles. The 2016 Prius Eco gets 58 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway, so it makes sense for her to choose the hybrid vehicle.

Danny DeVito Gets Around in a Prius

Danny DeVito often plays self-centered characters. Just think of his role as Frank on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Frank couldn’t possibly care less about protecting the environment.

DeVito makes a great example of why fans shouldn’t assume that actors have the same personality traits as the characters they play. DeVito owns a Prius, which makes it possible for him to maintain a low carbon footprint even when he has to drive the crowded streets of Los Angeles, where he lives.

Chris Tarrant Rolls in a Toyota Landcruiser

Chris Tarrant doesn’t appear on television often these days, but he was once a popular star who hosted the UK version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? He has also hosted Pop QuizCluedo, and Lose a Million.

Tarrant probably owns more than one vehicle. One of his preferred options, though, is a Toyota Land Cruiser that he drives frequently in Esher, where he currently lives.

No matter how much money you have, Toyota makes a vehicle that fits your lifestyle. If 50 Cent, Alba, DeVito, and Tarrant enjoy driving Toyota vehicles, you should give them a try, too.
