\n

George Clooney appeared in his first Super Bowl commercial during Super Bowl LX on February 8, starring in an ad for Grubhub.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 30-second spot aired Sunday during the Super Bowl<\/a>, and one of its most notable features was the involvement of filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The commercial, titled “Grubhub Will Eat the Fees,” unfolded inside a lavish setting where formally dressed guests enjoyed a grand dinner of takeout meals<\/a>. As the evening reached its peak, the “final course” arrived, being the fees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That’s when Clooney’s character stepped in. The big game ad appeared around the same time as Emma Stone’s highly anticipated commercial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The collaboration was designed to showcase a new benefit from Grubhub: the company eliminated delivery and service fees on restaurant orders over $50 as a long-term policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Clooney said he was “thrilled” to work with Lanthimos, describing the experience of shooting the spot as feeling similar to being on a film set and praising the director’s clear creative point of view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Taking to Twitter, viewers of the ads voiced mixed opinions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“George Clooney cannot be doing ‘GrubHub’ commercials,” said<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another added, “Just saw George Clooney on a GrubHub commercial. Guess that’s the only work he can get now. Go woke, go broke!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Just saw George Clooney on a GrubHub commercial. Guess that’s the only work he can get now. Go woke, go broke,” a third wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Super Bowl commercials regularly serve as cultural touchpoints, with celebrities often lending star power to memorable ads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This year’s Grubhub spot stood out in part because of the creative team behind it and the way it framed a familiar consumer experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“When I heard Yorgos Lanthimos was directing his first Super Bowl spot for Grubhub, and they called and asked me to be a part of it, I was thrilled,” Clooney told PEOPLE in an interview days before the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“He\u2019s one of my favorite directors.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lanthimos revealed that Clooney “treats a 30-second spot the same way he treats a film. We\u2019re in this incredible castle with these terrific actors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He uses his same cameraman that he shoots every film with. He has a very clear point of view, and that carried all the way through.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
