Michael Cera and CeraVe is no doubt an advertising match made in heaven, but it sure made for a bizarre Super Bowl commercial.
During Sunday’s Super Bowl 58 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, Cera debuted in a commercial for CeraVe, the skincare company. Considering Cera — the actor — shares a very similar name to CeraVe, the pairing makes sense for an advertising campaign.
However, the commercial in question is … well it’s certainly something. I won’t spoil it because it deserves to be watched with fresh eyes, but you definitely won’t be able to guess the first words out of Cera’s mouth.
