MUSIC legend Seal has been transformed into an actual seal using CGI for a bizarre Super Bowl advert.
The Super Bowl always throws up some incredible star-studded ad campaigns, but this unusual Mountain Dew commercial might be the pick of the bunch for Sunday’s big game.
London-born singer songwriter Seal, 61, has been enlisted by Mountain Dew alongside popstar Becky G to put together an advert that is sure to live long in the memory of anyone who watches it.
In the ad, Seal changes the lyrics to his hit song “Kiss From a Rose” to “Kiss From a Lime” in what has been dubbed the “Official Song of Mountain Dew Baja Blast”.
The bonkers commercial then sees Seal perform a small snippet of the tune while looking like an actual seal on a rock in the ocean.
As if things couldn’t get much weirder, the whole ordeal is watched by Becky G in a speedboat driven by Mountain Dew’s Mountain Dude.
Seal then ends his performance surrounded by orca whales leaping out of the sea and to the backdrop of an erupting volcano.
The star told Entertainment Tonight that it was an “honour” to be involved in the production.
And the four-time Grammy winner isn’t worried about embarrassing himself in front of the 100 MILLION people expected to tune in to the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Instead he’s hoping it’s his kids who will get the brunt of the teasing.
He said: “I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for me to make fun of myself and also for my kids to laugh.
“Either they [my kids] will get a kick out of it or they will be eternally embarrassed at school – either one I’m OK with.”

The whole advert was directed by Hollywood director Taika Waititi.
The Jojo Rabbit and Thor: Ragnarok director was enlisted by Mountain Dew to lead the commercial, but only agreed to the ad after finding out Seal would be a part of the campaign.
Seal revealed: “We spoke, we met over FaceTime. We haven’t actually met in person.
“After sort of five minutes of mutual appreciation, he said that he agreed to do it because it was me.”
