On Days of our Lives, Alex, Stephanie, and Steve have spent days trying to catch up to a dangerous mystery, unaware that their stalker has been hearing nearly everything they say through a hidden microphone. What first felt like a vague threat hanging over them has quickly become something far more focused, with Alex not only being warned, but actively targeted in attempts on his life. While the characters are still trying to get ahead of the danger in Salem, Robert Scott Wilson has popped up in a very different place online, sharing a fun moment from a major commercial where he found himself working alongside a true Hollywood icon.
Key Takeaways
Alex and Stephanie remain caught in the stalker drama, which has escalated from threats to attempted murder.
Robert Scott Wilson posted a Michelob Ultra Super Bowl ad featuring Kurt Russell.
Wilson appears in the snowy commercial with Lewis Pullman in a ski-training storyline.
Fans and castmates were excited to see Wilson show up in the big-game spot.
A Recognizable Face in an Unexpected Place
Wilson shared his newest commercial appearance on Instagram, writing, “When legends collide. Super Bowl LX: Ultras for the win… and Kurt,” which is a pretty modest caption for someone who just stepped into a Super Bowl commercial with Kurt Russell and made the whole thing look effortless.

The ad itself feels like a snowy training sequence with just enough comedy to let you know it is fully aware of how dramatic it looks. A man named Greg, played by Lewis Pullman, pays for everyone’s beers at a ski bar and laughs along as people joke that he is always the one picking up the bill because he constantly finishes last. Then everything shifts when a voice asks whether he is finally tired of losing. From that point on, the commercial becomes a rush of snow, speed, freezing air, and Kurt Russell appearing as a rough-edged coach, delivering encouragement that sounds helpful until it starts to feel like a direct challenge.
Once the training montage begins, Greg starts proving himself on the slopes. Skis slice through fresh powder, people crash, bodies tumble through the snow, and he even pulls off an aerial flip, while the message keeps returning to persistence, practice, and getting back up again. Wilson appears right in the middle of the action, looking completely comfortable, as if a freezing ski-training commercial is just another normal workday.

Snow, Beer, and the Internet Reacting Fast
Wilson’s castmates noticed the commercial almost right away. Abigail Klein responded with a simple “YEAAA!!!👏,” and Wilson answered back, “@abigailklein_ yeeeee!” Cherie Jimenez, who plays Gabi, wrote, “EPIC 🔥👏🏽,” while Al Calderon, known to DAYS fans as Javi, added, “I’m a big Rob Scott Wilson fan.” Wilson replied warmly, “@alcalderon theree is! We miss you over here guy! Keep killing it.”
Fans were just as excited. One viewer called the ad “pure cinema.” Another joked, “That’s it…I’m switching to [Michelob Ultra] 🙌.” Someone else wrapped up the reaction nicely with, “This is awesome! Great work man🍻Three studs 🔥🔥🔥.”
There was plenty of love for Wilson personally, too. “RSW for the win in this! 🏆🏂🍻,” one follower wrote, while another simply called him, “Champion 💪🏽.” One more fan focused directly on his appearance in the ad, asking, “Forget Greg, who’s the hottie in the red?😍,” which honestly feels like a very reasonable reaction to the situation.
Between the snow, the beer, Kurt Russell sitting back like a man who has earned every second of rest, and Wilson arriving from Salem with perfect timing, the whole commercial feels like a fun side adventure before he heads back into danger on DAYS. And really, who could blame him for enjoying it? (Who might the DAYS stalker really be?)
