LOS ANGELES, CA – April 19, 2017: Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn at the world premiere for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” at the Dolby Theatre, Hollywood.
The Super Bowl was on Sunday, and like every year the commercials were as noteworthy as the game itself, packed with major stars including Beyonce, Jeff Goldblum, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.Read More
But one of this year’s breakout commercial stars also has some surprising celebrity pedigree — he’s the dog
The celebrity power couple’s pet lab Roy Hawn Russell is the latest “nepo baby” to conquer Hollywood after starring in this year’s Budweiser Super Bowl spot, co-starring alongside the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales.
The minute-long commercial, titled “Old School Delivery,” sees the Clydesdales making a Bud delivery through a snowstorm after the highways are shut down. When the drivers get lost in the snow, a yellow lab shows up to lead them to the bar.
It was a favorite among the Super Bowl ads — people loved seeing the Budweiser Clydesdales back in the commercials, especially paired with a dog.
And it, of course, went over huge in the Russell-Hawn household, as the stars were thrilled to see their dog make his big debut.
“Don’t get me wrong I love watching football but tonight was all about watching our dog Roy Hawn Russell star in his first superbowl commercial,” Hawn wrote on Instagram, sharing a video of the family ecstatically watching the spot and cheering on Roy.
Hawn and Russell are the owners of a pack of dogs, and have had Roy since January 2021. Photos posted by Hawn show the dog as a puppy and at a year old, back in his pre-fame days.
