Super Bowl here we come? Christopher Walken seen with halftime show performer Usher on set of BMW commercial
Christopher Walken was spotted on the set of a new BMW commercial, along with an unlikely co-star: R&B singer Usher.
The 80-year-old Oscar-winning actor was spotted on set with the 45-year-old, eight-time Grammy-winning singer on Thursday.
The sighting comes a month after it was announced that Usher will not be compensated for his performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February.
Ironically, given the timing of the filming, it's possible that this will be a commercial that also airs during the Super Bowl, although that hasn't been confirmed yet.
There are also rumors that Walken is also directing the ad, but these have also not been confirmed.

Walken was spotted wearing a black button-down shirt with white palm trees over a black zip-up sweater.
He also wore black pants and matching black shoes for his day on the commercial set.
Usher, on the other hand, was dressed entirely in gray, with a gray top over a matching gray jacket and even a pair of gray gloves.
He dressed up with a few necklaces and some snowflake brooches pinned to his lapel.
The singer also held on to a pair of gray glasses as he completed his look with a pair of gray sneakers with white soles.
Usher's eldest son Cinco, who recently celebrated his 16th birthday, was also spotted on the commercial set.
Walken and Usher are not believed to have worked together in the past, although they were both photographed at Robert De Niro's birthday party in 2016.
If Walken directs, it wouldn't be the first time he steps behind the camera. He previously wrote and directed the 2001 short film Popcorn Shrimp, starring Ralph Macchio and Master P.

Usher is leaving his 100-show My Way residency in Las Vegas and is now turning his attention to the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

It was reported that Usher was far from the first choice to perform at the big game, although Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Lizzo all reportedly turned down offers from the NFL.
Although Usher will reportedly not receive any pay for his performance, he could still make money through the performance.
Other halftime performers saw their streaming numbers increase after the show, with Jennifer Lopez's streams increasing 330% after her 2020 performance with Shakira.
