The Pringles Super Bowl commercial has debuted and it features Chris Pratt as the mustachioed mascot Mr. P, a role that he prepared for for months to grow out a thick mustache.
Pratt said in an interview with Variety, “I grew it out and shaved down the sides, and it curled up.” His wife, Katharine Schwarzenegger, told him the mustache just might have legs, and he said, “That’s actually a good look for a character. Have you ever played a character with that type of mustache?” he says she asked him. “I kept it. I must have posted something on social media.” Pringles soon reached out to him.
The actor then talked about the commercial, saying, “There’s a lot going on. We really love this sort of post-truth theme about living in a world where suddenly someone says, ‘OK, you are Mr. P,’ and that becomes a thing. We did a lot of ad-libs.”
