is that eli manning's daughter in the commercial

Upwards at present, Eli Manning'southward biggest Super Basin highlight was throwing the game-winning pass to David Tyree in Super Bowl XLII. The "Helmet Take hold of" won the championship for the New York Giants, gave Eli his beginning Super Bowl ring, and sent the Tom Brady and the New England Patriots back to Foxborough empty-handed. Notwithstanding, that triumph might at present be Eli'due south second-best highlight, thanks to the "Road To The Super Bowl LVI" spots where he, Jerome Bettis, and Victor Cruz end up singing Olivia Rodrigo's "good 4 u" while on their way to Super Bowl LVI. Eli was feeling the song, and so was this his mode to tell the world that he was a die-hard Sour fan?

"Well, you lot know, I accept three daughters, historic period ten, eight, and 6," Eli tells HollywoodLife in an Exclusive interview when discussing the PepsiCo and Frito Lay shoot. "Then yep, I knew the vocal — had not memorized it, but didn't really know exactly what the words were. But that was definitely the biggest part of the prep."

Getting the words to "proficient 4 u" was also "the funniest kind of off-set [action]," Eli tells HollywoodLife. "Victor, Jerome Bettis, and I [were] playing the song on our phones, thinking alee of the B-scroll photographic camera going. Just me, singing that vocal by myself, trying to get into the tune, the tempo, and the states working together, coaching each other upwardly, was pretty funny. Just that was definitely the hardest part of the shoot."

It could have been worse. Eli could have been recruited for duct-tape duty and put in accuse of strapping down Terry Bradshawfor his scene. Thankfully, Manning was spared the taste of securing the Pittsburgh Steelers legend to the top of the autobus.

"That wasn't part of the chore requirements," Eli says with a laugh. "That was just funny watching and merely kind of seeing [Terry] out at that place and any it makes and then much sense for him. Like, that's such his personality. You know, 'we got one spot left, but for you just for you, Terry: up on the bus.'"

"The whole commercial, it was so much fun just," continued the Giants icon, "because yous know – information technology's great guys, yous're on the Road to the Super Bowl. It'southward such an exciting time, not just for us, but for everybody right at present. And then at present it's kind of most, hey, if your [Super Bowl] parties, you demand some PepsiCo beverages. You need the Frito Lay snacks. That's just part of the Road to the Super Basin and, of class, the Super Bowl parties."

The Super Bowl is an excellent time to reconnect with friends, especially those you haven't seen in a few years due to work, travel, or global pandemics. For Eli, these "Route To The Super Bowl" commercials immune him to hang out with a old Giants teammate and friend Victor Cruz. "We've always stayed close," he tells HollywoodLife.

"When we started off, he was a Jersey child. When he kickoff came into the Giants, we were in a lockout year. So, Victor and I were working out. He was an unproven guy, never really played in games. And We're in New Jersey, going to local high schools, throwing passes and throwing routes. He'd show upwardly anytime I sent him a text. 'Hey, can you lot throw this twenty-four hour period or this day or this day?' 'Yes, sir.' We built a great friendship."

Eli said he too keeps upward with a lot of his Offensive linemen – Shaun O'Hara, Chris Snee, Rich Seubert, among others. "Commonly, in the NFL, information technology'due south the guys you're around in your first 8 years or so, they end up beingness your best friends. You end up being at each other's weddings. Y'all're having kids around at the aforementioned time. And then, yous have that bond where you're more similar in age. All of a sudden, when this 22-year-old kid comes in, y'all take that connection on the field, but y'all don't ever get it off the field." Basically, if you lot tin become a friend who'll do Olivia Rodrigo karaoke with you on a charabanc during a cross-country trip to the Super Basin, you lot know you have a friend for life.
