WHEN Super Bowl Sunday arrives, there are a lot of things to look forward to, from the munchies to the halftime performance, and the game itself, but there are also the iconic commercials.
The new Booking.com commercial has three familiar faces that aim to attract viewers.
Who stars in the Booking.com Super Bowl commercial?
The 2022 Super Bowl commercial for Booking.com features actor Idris Elba seeking assistance from two men who have starred in their own commercials: Jonathan Goldsmith and Isaiah Mustafa.
The British actor, who is known for his portrayals of Heimdall in the Thor and Avengers films and his roles in Pacific Rim, Beasts of No Nation, Molly’s Game, The Suicide Squad, and many more, calls up “two icons of the advertising world” for some advice on how to be a spokesman.
Of course, because this is not Elba's first commercial job, he may not require as much guidance.
In 2019, the star of The Wire and Luther began working as a Ford spokesman, promoting the automaker's Mustang-inspired SUV.
In terms of Super Bowl’s star-studded commercials, Elba will be in great company as Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd advertise Lay's, Megan Thee Stallion and Charlie Puth promote Cheetos and Doritos, among the other stars lined up for gameday advertising.
