Ahead of Squarespace's Big Game ad, the website-building brand has released a short film that reveals the protagonist of the upcoming spot: Barry Keoghan. The star of 'Saltburn' and 'The Batman' returns to a familiar location, the Irish Atlantic coast - not dissimilar to the environs of 'The Banshees of Inisherin', in which his performance earned him a BAFTA Award and Oscar nomination. The actor is joined by a donkey, Don Mosley, who is hoping to break into Hollywood. And for that, the donkey needs a website. The short 90-second film shows the pair on set, with Barry using Squarespace to create his co-star's website. The hope is that starring in a Super Bowl ad will mean more roles for Mosley, and propel the animal to a level of fame never reached by a donkey before. The funny spot pokes fun at the donkey's limited acting range, as well as the difficulties of breaking America as an Irish actor.
