Today has been a terribly sad day with the death of Bill Paxton. And to make matters worst a Rolex commercial just rolled featuring The Extreme himself.
As soon as this commercial hit the screen, Twitter immediately started expressing (again) how sad they were that the awesome actor is not with us anymore.
