According to Golf Digest, Michelob’s anticipated Super Bowl commercial includes a handful of star athletes like Serena Williams, Alex Morgan, Tony Romo, Nneka Ogwumike, Jimmy Butler, and Canelo Álvarez. But there was one celebrity who got Williams the most starstruck, and that’s “Succession” star Brian Cox.
“He was in all of my scenes, so I kind of felt special. I think just seeing him in person, you just see him as that patriarch. Even though you kind of want him to be that person, he’s not,” the tennis player admitted to People about working alongside the Scottish actor. She also mentioned that Cox was “super sweet and super awesome.”

And it looks like the feeling is mutual, as Cox returned the praise to Williams. In an interview with Us Weekly, the actor said that he was already intimidated by being asked to be in a Super Bowl commercial, but it got more “daunting” when they told him Williams was going to be his scene partner. “I’m not really a sporting type at all, and she is probably the finest female athlete in the world. But she was so sweet and so nice,” he said. Williams isn’t done appearing in commercials this year.
