New Super Bowl Commercial: Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal, and Sydney Sweeney Steal the Spotlight

A leaked Super Bowl commercial has fans buzzing. It pairs Hollywood icons Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal with Gen Z bombshell Sydney Sweeney in an unexpected revival of the legendary diner scene from When Harry Met Sally. The combination of timeless comedy, nostalgia, and sizzling star power promises to make this ad one of the most talked-about moments of the year.

'When Harry Met Sally' (1989) is, without exaggeration, one of the most beloved romantic comedies ever. Written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, the film paired Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal as two friends navigating the age-old question: Can men and women ever truly be "just friends"? But it's not just the sharp dialogue and heartfelt moments that make this movie a classic… one unforgettable sequence firmly planted the movie in pop culture history.

That scene, of course, is when Sally (Meg Ryan) simulates an orgasm in the middle of Katz’s Deli, leaving Harry (Billy Crystal) stunned and a nearby diner quipping, “I’ll have what she’s having.” Ryan’s performance was hilarious and groundbreaking for its bold exploration of female sexual expression in mainstream film. The scene remains iconic decades later, and this commercial cleverly revitalizes it for a modern audience.

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal

Meg Ryan solidified her status as America’s sweetheart in the late '80s and '90s with romantic comedies like ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ and ‘You’ve Got Mail.’ Still, her portrayal of Sally Albright remains one of her most celebrated performances. Known for her bubbly charm and approachable beauty, Ryan has effortlessly balanced comedic timing with heartfelt relatability throughout her career. Billy Crystal, equally legendary, brought wit and warmth to Harry Burns, creating one of rom-com’s most enduring duos. His return to this iconic role serves as a reminder of his sharp comedic skills and the natural chemistry he shared with Ryan.

The Sydney Sweeney Cameo

Enter Sydney Sweeney, who makes a surprise cameo in the recreated scene—a clever nod to bridging the generational gap. Sweeney, whom modern audiences recognize as a bona fide Gen Z sex symbol, has carved out a career with standout performances in HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ and ‘The White Lotus.’ Her blend of acting talent and undeniable on-screen allure has quickly catapulted her to A-list status.

With Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal reprising their ‘When Harry Met Sally’ magic and Sydney Sweeney adding her modern-day allure as a cameo, this leaked Super Bowl commercial is set to spark plenty of conversation. Revisiting the famous orgasm scene with a contemporary twist not only honors the original film but also cleverly reinvents it for today’s audience. Get ready to laugh, reminisce, and, as always, say, “I’ll have what she’s having.”
