Watch: Shaggy, Mila Kunis And Ashton Kutcher In Cheetos’ Super Bowl LV Ad
The Cheetos Super Bowl LV commercial featuring Grammy Award-winning Dancehall singer Shaggy and Hollywood power-couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis has been released in full.
After teasing the ad two weeks ago, the Frito-Lay snack brand unveiled the full ad today via a press release. The full commercial suggests what should be done when one gets caught sneaking Cheetos, to the lyrics of Shaggy’s hit song, It Wasn’t Me, which celebrated its 20th-anniversary last year.
Shaggy also shared the new commercial today, writing in an Instagram post, “It’s been 21 years since ‘It Wasn’t Me’ came out, and it’s still the perfect response to getting caught…”
Frito-lay’s press release said, “Fans were left stumped with the release of teasers, “Evidence” and “Advice,” wondering about the evidence Kutcher found. What could Mila have done? What advice did Shaggy offer her? All their questions are finally answered as Ashton continuously catches Mila ‘orange-handed’ around the house — eating his bag of Cheetos Crunch Pop Mix. But every time he questions her, Mila has the perfect response: “It Wasn’t Me,” thanks to Shaggy. The release of the commercial for Super Bowl LV also marks the 20th anniversary of the retail release of the reggae icon’s timeless hit “It Wasn’t Me.”
“Mila and I both remember when ‘It Wasn’t Me’ came out 20 years ago when we were first working together on That 70s Show, so it’s really cool to come full circle with Cheetos, work together again and remix this song,” Kutcher said. “We’ve rarely done projects together since then, but the concept was so fun and relatable. And we couldn’t pass up the chance to be in this Super Bowl commercial.”
“It’s so silly!” Kunis said of the ad, while speaking to ET over the weekend. “Ashton and I, we never work together. I mean, I know we’ve worked together before [on That ’70s Show and more]… but in the midst of quarantine, they sent us this ad to do.”
“Every time I’ve ever been offered a Super Bowl ad it’s always a female having to be scantily clad,” she continued. “But this one comes around, I started laughing so hard, and Ashton was like, ‘This is kind of funny.’ And I was like, ‘We should do it!'”
The commercial will air on CBS during the third quarter of Super Bowl LV on Sunday, Feb. 7 along with two others from the snack brand. Watch Shaggy, Mila, and Ashton’s full ad above.
