Andy Warhol made a surprise appearance in a new Burger King commercial which aired during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The artist, who died in 1987, takes the Whopper out of a Burger King bag and unwraps it. He pours some ketchup on the side; dips the Whopper in the ketchup and eat it. At the end, the hashtag #EATLIKEANDY flashes on the screen.
The commercial is a shortened clip of the scene “Andy Warhol Eating a Hamburger,” from the 1982 documentary “66 Scenes From America” by Jørgen Leth.
In an interview with Slate, Leth revealed that Burger King was not Warhol’s first burger choice for the clip. Instead, the artist wanted McDonald’s.
