Matt Damon and David Beckham Star as Twins in Super Bowl LIX Ad

Hollywood superstar Matt Damon and football icon David Beckham are teaming up for something unexpected—playing long-lost twin brothers in a big-budget Super Bowl commercial for Stella Artois. This unique and humorous campaign, directed by none other than Ben Affleck, is set to air during Super Bowl LIX, making it one of the most anticipated ads of the season.

The commercial, part of Stella Artois’ “For Moments Worth More” campaign, presents a hilarious yet heartfelt story: Beckham, playing himself, discovers he has a long-lost twin brother—“Dave Beckham”—played by Damon. The storyline follows Beckham as he travels to the U.S. to meet his estranged sibling, only to find they have more in common than just a name, including a shared love for Stella Artois and some impressive footwork. The chemistry between Damon and Beckham is undeniable, and their comedic timing brings a fresh energy to the campaign.

Ben Affleck, a longtime collaborator of Damon, directed the spot through his production company, Artists Equity. The commercial takes an unconventional approach, delaying the appearance of Stella Artois until nearly a minute into the ad—a bold move in the world of high-stakes Super Bowl advertising. But as Damon explains, the focus is on storytelling rather than a traditional product placement. “It’s really about connection—these two brothers getting to know each other after years apart,” he says.

For Beckham, stepping into the world of acting alongside seasoned professionals like Damon and Affleck was both a challenge and a thrill. “I’m not an actor, so I needed all the guidance I could get,” he admits. But Damon was quick to compliment his performance, saying Beckham “crushed it” with his ability to improvise and adapt to the loose, ad-lib-heavy directing style.

The ad doesn’t just stop at the Super Bowl; Stella Artois has plans to expand the storyline throughout the year, following the brothers on more adventures. Beckham and Damon both agree that the real magic of the campaign lies in its relatability. “It’s about those everyday moments—watching football, sharing a beer, sitting around with family,” Beckham explains. “We were laughing so much on set, and hopefully, people watching will feel that same joy.”

With two global icons, a legendary director, and a compellingly funny script, this Super Bowl LIX ad is shaping up to be one of the most memorable of the year. Whether you’re tuning in for the game or just the commercials, this is one you won’t want to miss!
