We’ve all heard of kids wanting their famous parents to give them a break in Hollywood, but it’s not often you hear of the reverse, is it? This particular ad has brought to the surface something quite unexpected. Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, reportedly made the push for his father to make a cameo in this sought-after Super Bowl ad spot. While it’s not confirmed if this casting drama is directly linked to the ongoing legal issues around FTX,. it certainly adds an interesting subplot.
