Willem Dafoe is Marilyn Monroe in New Super Bowl Spot

Willem Dafoe is Marilyn Monroe in new Snickers spot

Willem Dafoe is known for playing loony characters from Bobby Peru in Wild at Heart to The Green Goblin in Spider-Man to the merciless killer Jopling in The Grand Budapest Hotel, but now the thesp, who has played everything from a four-armed Thark to Jesus Christ, takes on his greatest role yet: Marilyn Monroe. In the latest “Hungry?” ad from Snickers, Dafoe stands in as the temperamental starlet standing over a subway grate in her white skirt in the iconic moment from 1955’s The Seven Year Itch.

Keep your eyes peeled from a cameo from another great character actor, the great Eugene Levy (Best in Show, American Pie) playing a hapless fan operator.

Dafoe himself has the blockbuster Chinese epic The Great Wall coming out later this year, in which he co-stars with Matt Damon in the Zhang Yimou film that is the largest epic ever shot in the country. It opens in theaters on November 23.
