The new Lego commercial ahead of the 2026 World Cup caused global excitement and went viral in just a few minutes, bringing Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé, and Vinicius into the same room.
However, despite this impressive result, the four football superstars never actually met in the same space!
As a well-known French advertiser revealed, the production relied entirely on doubles and extras for the filming.
Apparently, these stand-ins performed the movements of the four players and acted out the entire sketch of the commercial, while subsequently, using technology, the faces of the real footballers were "placed" onto their bodies.
We may have believed at that moment that we witnessed a historic reunion, but in reality, it was just another... trick from the modern technological means that advertisers now possess.
