Jan 20, 2020 by apost team

Veteran actor Sam Elliott known for his distinct deep voice and his roles that he plays with gravitas has recently loaned his world-class talents to a Super Bowl commercial, taking on the hit "Old Town Road."

A teaser for a commercial has been released on Youtube featuring Sam as a world-weary cowboy strolling into an old-town saloon. It starts with iconic swinging doors and the sound of his boots and spurs. He walks up to the nervous bartender and prepares to speak to him directly.

What he says next isn't quite a Western movie monologue but will be familiar to pop music fans with their ears on the top 40 for the last year or so. 

I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match

Ridin' on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche
I been in the valley
You ain't been up off that porch, now

Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'

It's the opening refrain to the number one hit "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X.

Just then, a hip hop beat drops and Sam walks out of the bar once more to the stunned bartender. The date 02.02.2020 pops up on the screen, the date of this year's Super Bowl LIV, and that's the moment we also know it's a Doritos commercial.
