In the preview, Keoghan and Don are seen watching a snippet of the upcoming commercial, which shows Keoghan riding on Don’s back. The actor humorously suggests that the donkey may need a publicist, and he sets out to create a website for Don using Squarespace. As they work together on designing the site, Keoghan asks for Don’s input on the color scheme, showcasing their camaraderie and teamwork on set.
In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Keoghan expresses his pride in working on the campaign with Squarespace against the scenic backdrop of Ireland. He praises director Steve Rogers for his slick and cool narrative in showcasing Squarespace, and he excitedly mentions the joy of working with a donkey once again. This collaboration represents a blend of creativity and craftsmanship, highlighting the unique partnership between Keoghan and his four-legged co-star.
Jenny the Donkey, who gained fame in ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, holds a special place in the hearts of fans and the cast. Director Martin McDonagh’s affection for Jenny was evident, as the miniature donkey captured attention both on and off screen. Her presence even caused confusion during award season, with Jimmy Kimmel clarifying that a male donkey named Dominic, not Jenny, made an appearance at the Oscars as an “emotional support” animal.
Fans can look forward to the complete Squarespace Super Bowl commercial featuring Keoghan and Don airing during the big game. Scheduled to debut when the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9, the ad promises to deliver a mix of entertainment, creativity, and a heartwarming connection between a talented actor and his adorable donkey companion.
As Keoghan continues to showcase his versatility and charm on screen, his partnership with Don Mosley in the Squarespace commercial exemplifies the magic of storytelling and collaboration in the world of advertising. Stay tuned for their on-screen chemistry and the heartwarming moments that are sure to captivate audiences during one of the most-watched events of the year.
