Irish actor Barry Keoghan has made his debut in a Super Bowl commercial, featuring a familiar costar that made him feel right at home. The commercial, produced by Squarespace, sees Keoghan sharing the screen with a donkey, reminiscent of his role in the acclaimed film 'The Banshees of Inisherin'.

Shot in his native Ireland, the ad showcases Keoghan traveling the countryside on the donkey while promoting the design-driven website building platform. Despite the donkey's resemblance to his movie companion, Jenny, Keoghan clarified that it was not the same donkey but handled by the same team.

Expressing his excitement for the opportunity, Keoghan acknowledged the significance of appearing in a Super Bowl commercial, considering the event as almost a holiday. As a fan of the NFL and the Super Bowl, he expressed gratitude for the experience.

Amidst the football banter, Keoghan's humor shone through as he pondered Kelce's donkey handling skills, leaving the world to wonder about this quirky connection.
