Though she’s admittedly not the biggest football fan, Emily Ratajkowski scored a ticket to Super Bowl 50. We guess appearing in her first Super Bowl commercial automatically granted her access into Levi’s Stadium for the showdown between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos.
The Gone Girl actress, 24, and New York Giants Pro-Bowler Odell Beckham Jr. star alongside the new Buick Cascada convertible in Buick’s first ever Super Bowl ad campaign titled, “The Big Day.” In the commercial, Emily is a guest at a wedding where she nabs the bride’s bouquet using the one-handed technique that Odell has become famous for. Naturally, the football player happens to be a guest as well and witnesses the catch.

“During our shoot, Odell gave me helpful pointers,” said Ratajkowski. “While I’m definitely not ready to become a pro football player, I was proud to have caught the ball a few times!”
The “Blurred Lines” video star told Yahoo Celebrity, “I’m definitely more of a basketball fan, so it was really funny when I got off the phone after getting the call about the commercial. I texted my dad and my boyfriend, ‘How do you feel about Odell Beckham Jr.?’ They both were like, ‘WHAT?!’ They were so stoked, which made [shooting the ad] really fun for me.” She added, ”[Odell]’s super sweet. Really, really down to earth and mellow. He made the shoot really fun.“

While Ratajkowski doesn’t have a horse in this year’s Super Bowl race, she was excited about getting to catch the action live. "I’m kind of not sure who to root for, but the fact Peyton Manning might be retiring soon and is in his last Super Bowl, I think I’m going for the Broncos. I’m just hoping it’s going to be a good game.” (And she said she wasn’t a football fan.)
For the majority of us watching the game from the couch, Ratajkowski shared three things she believes are essential to any Super Bowl party.
“OK, you definitely need good beer,” she said. “You need a lot of beer. You never know how much people will drink or how long they are going to stay so you should have a lot. Second, put the TV in a good space so a lot of people can sit or stand around. Placement it is key. You don’t want people blocking the TV. And finally, barbecue. You need some good barbecue food.”
