Barry Keoghan is Working with a Donkey Again and Has His Super Bowl Pick Locked

Irish actor Barry Keoghan, known for his standout performances in The Banshees of Inisherin and Saltburn, is once again sharing the screen with a donkey. This time, however, it’s not for a film but for a Super Bowl commercial. The actor has teamed up with Squarespace, a website-building platform, for a humorous and lighthearted ad set to air during Super Bowl LVIII on February 11, 2024.

Back with a Donkey – A Familiar Friendship

Keoghan’s previous experience working with a donkey in The Banshees of Inisherin—where his character shared heartwarming yet tragic moments with the beloved Jenny the Donkey—made him a fan favorite. Now, in his new commercial, he’s paired with another donkey named Don Mosley, bringing his signature charm to the screen.

The commercial, directed by Steve Rogers, was filmed in Keoghan’s native Ireland, which adds to its authenticity and charm. The plot revolves around Keoghan helping Don Mosley create a personal website using Squarespace, sparking a witty and amusing conversation between the actor and the animal. Keoghan joked about how he is once again “co-starring” with a donkey, proving that he has a special knack for bringing out the best in his four-legged companions.

“It was brilliant to work with another donkey again,” Keoghan said in an interview. “I guess I have a thing for them now.”

Keoghan’s Super Bowl Pick – He’s All In on the Chiefs

Beyond starring in one of the biggest commercials of Super Bowl weekend, Keoghan has also made his pick for the big game. With the Kansas City Chiefs set to face the San Francisco 49ers, the actor has thrown his support behind Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

“I’m backing the Chiefs all the way,” Keoghan said excitedly. “Kansas City, let’s go!”

Keoghan also expressed admiration for Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' star tight end, saying that Kelce’s skill and confidence make him one of the most exciting players in the NFL. With Mahomes leading the charge and the Chiefs aiming for another Super Bowl victory, Keoghan is confident in his pick.
