Not only are all eyes on the most-watched US sporting event of the year, but viewers and fans at home love to see which celebrities are featured in the typically lucrative slate of commercials.
Game broadcaster NBC sold out of ad inventory for the showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots at an average of $8 million per 30-second spot, CNBC reported.
As many as 10 ad slots sold for more than $10 million each.
Here are some of the best adverts featuring acting and singing sensations.

Matthew McConaughey and The Kid Laroi for Uber Eats
For the second year in a row, Matthew McConaughey tries to convince celebrities like Bradley Cooper and Parker Posey that football is a conspiracy to make people hungry so they order food.
In a separate Uber Eats ad, The Kid Laroi is given a new name, “The Man Laroi”, and we see him transform into an older version of himself and falls over while performing onstage.
The ad slogan says: New Name, No; New York Cheesecake, Yes.

Chris Hemsworth for Alexa+
The Aussie heart throb appeared alongside his wife Elsa Pataky who has just started using the AI to help make daily tasks a bit easier.
