Whew! Roomies, Michelle Williamstapped into an always-viral topic when she appeared in a new commercial this past weekend.
Anybody familiar with the Destiny’s Child era knows that Michelle was a group member and often CARRIED a note! But her girl group counterparts, Beyonc and Kelly Rowland, seem to be in the spotlight more often.
In the new Uber One commercial, Michelle Williams joked about being “unrecognizable” despite her contributions to one of the best-selling girl groups!
The commercial opens with Michelle sitting on a bench in a park. A woman beside her shows no signs of recognizing her while eating a fruit bowl. Speaking to herself, Williams blurts out:
“You know what is disappointing? I was in one of the most iconic girl groups, and no one recognizes me,” THEE Michelle Williams joked.
In the next scene, she appears excited when someone yells, “Michelle.” But she quickly realizes the man calling out “Michelle” is chasing his dog of the same name.
In the next beat, the woman beside her finally asks, “Are you Michelle Williams?” Again, the singer appears excited, only for the woman to say, “Dropped your wallet,” and hand over a purse.
Disappointed (c’mon acting chops), Williams comments, “At least my Uber One savings don’t disappoint,” and the commercial ends.
Peep the hilarious ad below.
On Monday (March 4), Williams commented further on her participation in the video and the script. She appeared to be in good spirits about the end results, according to her Instagram post.
“I get to be in on the jokes. Certain jokes yall know I dont care too much about, especially 24 years later. There are just certain things I dont care about anymore,” Michelle said.
Michelle Williams added that the commercial was “a cool way to be like ‘The joke ain’t on me, it’s really on you.'” In her words, the project was “so much fun.”
See her full reaction below.
While Michelle is finding humor in “unrecognizable” jokes, her Destiny’s Child sister Kelly recently had to check some radio hosts for overshadowing her non-DC work.
Kelly politely asked the hosts to make her interview about her amid questions about Beyonc’s country music direction and Destiny’s Child. She had visited the station to promote her new Netflix film ‘Mea Culpa,’ days before its release.
