John Travolta's Super Bowl ad invoked Zach Braff, Donald Faison's inner fanboy: Report

Last year, actors Zach Braff and Donald Faison premiered a Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile that immediately became a hit. Just days away from Super Bowl LVII, they are giving fans a glimpse into their next ad for the big game, and it stars one of Hollywood's biggest actors.

John Travolta will join Faison and Braff in the commercial for T-Mobile and will be singing a rendition of the classic "Grease" tune. The actor will be seen singing "Summer Nights" but the lyrics will go along with the T-Mobile ad for their 5G network and connectivity. Braff and Faison said that working with the legendary actor for the first time was a great experience and they had to remind themselves to keep it professional since they were such big fans.

Braff said that he had to remind Faison not to be too much of a fan during their first conversation with Travolta.

"We had a talk beforehand," Braff said. "I said, 'Donald, be chill. Don't start asking questions about the movies until we've settled this.' Ten seconds in, he starts asking questions about Face/Off. I'm like, "Bro, we had a discussion.'"

The two actors, said that the opportunity to not only meet John Travolta but also work with him was an amazing experience.

Faison even said that getting the chance to meet an actor who he has looked up to for so long is something that he will cherish.

"Listen, I have a really hard time meeting other actors or peers and stuff like that. I get excited for anyone and everyone, but I will tell you this: If you are in my top five, top 10, I'm going to go crazy. Travolta's in my top five and I went crazy."-Donald Faison

The trio spent two days filming the 60-second commercial that will air during Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

Cryptocurrency based commercials will not air during Super Bowl LVII

Super Bowl commercials featuring beer, snacks and car brands have become famous. Last year, cryptocurrency commercials aired during Super Bowl LVI, but that won't be the case during this year's big game.

FrontOffice Sports reported this week that there won't be any commercials featuring cryptocurrency brands. This comes after the fraud and bankruptcy of FTX crypto led to millions of people losing money and some of the biggest names in Hollywood and sports being sued for their involvement with the brand.

A commercial starring comedian Larry David for FTX Exchange that was titled, "Don't Be Like Larry" aired during last year's game. The comedian is now part of a lawsuit that accuses him and others such as Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen of advertising a fraudulent brand. So, the big game will feature the typical companies that fans are accostomed to seeing.
