The Super Bowl is not just about the game and the halftime show, but also about the commercials. And this year, one commercial stood out among the rest, thanks to an unexpected star – Roy Hawn Russell, the adorable dog of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.
In the Budweiser commercial titled “Old School Delivery,” the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales are seen making a beer delivery through a snowstorm. When the drivers get lost in the snow, Roy, a yellow lab, comes to the rescue and leads them to the bar. The commercial was a hit, with people loving the combination of the Clydesdales and the dog.
But what made this commercial even more special was the fact that Roy belongs to two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The celebrity power couple was overjoyed to see their beloved pet make his big debut on the Super Bowl stage. Goldie Hawn shared a video on Instagram of the family watching the commercial with excitement and cheering on Roy. Her daughter, Kate Hudson, also shared a video of their watch party, where guests were rooting for the family dog.
While Roy may have stolen the show in this Budweiser commercial, he is just one of the dogs owned by Hawn and Russell. The couple has a pack of dogs and has been the proud owners of Roy since January 2021. Photos shared by Hawn show Roy as a puppy and at a year old, before he became a famous commercial star.
Directed by Henry-Alex Rubin, an Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning director, the Budweiser commercial also features Fred Dana, a real-life Budweiser wholesaler with over 34 years of experience. The combination of talented individuals, including Roy, resulted in a memorable and heartwarming commercial.
As for Roy’s future in the acting world, it remains to be seen. Whether this Super Bowl spot was a one-time gig or the start of a budding acting career, Roy proved that talent runs deep in the Hawn-Russell family. And for us, watching this commercial during the Super Bowl was a delight, especially when we discovered that the charming dog behind it all belongs to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Truly, a star is born! 🤩❤️
