“Days of Our Lives” star Robert Scott Wilson has teamed up with legendary Hollywood actor Kurt Russell for an upcoming Super Bowl ad. Focusing on the light lager known as Michelob ULTRA, the advertisement also includes the likes of Lewis Pullman, Chloe Kim, & TJ Oshie.
Robert Scott Wilson Stars Alongside Kurt Russell and Others in Super Bowl Commercial
The commercial shows Wilson’s character alongside three friends played by Olympic Gold medalist Kim, NHL star Oshie, and actor Pullman on a skiing trip. While on the slopes, the group has a wager where the last person down the mountain will pay for the bar tab.
Unfortunately, Pullman’s character Greg can’t keep up with his pals and ends up paying for the round of drinks. That’s when Russell’s ski instructor character helps out and gives the unlucky Greg some tips.
“When legends collide. 🍻 @michelobultra Super Bowl LX: Ultras for the win… and Kurt,” Wilson captioned the post he made on Instagram sharing the ad.
Many of his fellow “Days of Our Lives” cast members were quick to sound off their support in the comments.
Abigail Klein, who plays Stephanie and acts as Wilson’s main romantic interest, replied, “YEAAA!!!.”
Gabi actor Cherie Jimenez called the ad, “EPIC” while Al Calderon, who plays Javi, said, “I’m a big Rob Scott Wilson fan.”
‘Days of Our Lives’ Makes Several Major Casting Changes
The Peacock soap opera is reportedly set to make some major changes to the show in early 2026, with a number of cast exits on the cards.
“It was a New Year bloodbath at Days of Our Lives this month as the cast returned from a Christmas hiatus,” an insider told The Daily Mail.
According to the report, the four actors who are facing the chopping block are Carson Boatman (Johnny), Raven Bowens (Chanel), Ashley Puzemis (Holly), and Leo Howard (Tate).
“‘Days’ decided they needed to switch things up,” the source told The Daily Mail. “All four actors were let go last week within a day of getting back from the show’s holiday hiatus. They were totally blindsided, especially Carson, who was in the middle of renegotiating a new contract.”
Responding to the report, a spokesperson for the series told Sopa Opera Digest, ““While we don’t comment on individual contracts or casting decisions, we have tremendous respect and appreciation for the actors who bring these characters to life.”
“What may seem sudden is part of long-range storytelling decisions. Our goal is to balance the show’s rich history with where we’re headed creatively. Due to our long tape-to-air gap, any changes won’t be on screen for some time.”
I have been watching Days since 1968. There have been many different stores and I think it helps to have younger and older actors to make the stories. More realistic. Having younger actors and their stories would draw more younger people to the soap.
