Yes Catherine O’Hara can play pickleball and she does enjoy an occasional beer.
Yes, Catherine O’Hara can play pickleball. She also enjoys an occasional beer. That helps explain why she looks so natural in a new Super Bowl commercial for Michelob Ultra. In spot, the Emmy winner costars with Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe as they take on pickleball players - professional and otherwise - in a quest for Michelob beer. And while O’Hara has been in a Super Bowl commercial before, it was a brief appearance in a Nissan ad in 2022. The new commercial called for a bit more work. It also unlocked a talent for pickleball, she said. “Everyone was so kind, and the director was so encouraging and great,” O’Hara said. “So you immediately think, ‘Yeah, wait a minute, I’m good. I know what I’m doing.’”
Justin Baldoni’s legal team on Tuesday released footage from the set of “It Ends With Us,” the film at the center of his ongoing legal battle with co-star Blake Lively, that they say supports his claim that he acted with “respect and professionalism” toward the former “Gossip Girl” star, who has accused him of sexual harassment.
