Serena Williams has an ongoing collaboration with Michelob ULTRA, for which she stars in a commercial for the beer brand for the third consecutive year at the SuperBowl.
In an exclusive interview for ESSENCE, Serena explained: “I love Michelob Ultra. I like that it reminds us of joy. I am a very joyful person. I love to laugh. I am passionate about being happy. I love making jokes. I love bringing it into my life.
And so I think that’s what we see in these announcements that we’ve done in the past. We get to see some familiar faces, some legendary athletes and even some friendly competition for a more playful and fun side of ourselves and it’s only worth it if we’re having fun.”
Serena Williams, between beer and passion for Rihanna!
Serena then added in the same interview: “As athletes, we can do so much and we work so hard and I’m very guilty sometimes of not always enjoying what championships and stuff like that. So that’s great. I don’t play golf at all these days.
Although I will definitely start golfing as soon as I have time, hopefully very soon! I love to read, but since I’ve had Olympia, I don’t even think I’ve read a book. But I love to read. I absolutely love going to the movies, it’s my favorite thing, it turns my brain off.”
Serena said during the interview that she can’t wait to see Rihanna on stage, performing for the Half-Time show.
She said: “I sure hope he does, Lift Me Up, it makes me cry every time. It’s such a beautiful song. I’m a huge fan of Rihanna. I was so happy that she did that song for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and I’m so Glad he’s making the Super Bowl. It’s going to be really exciting.”
