Surprising celebrities who got their start in TV commercials | Kirsten Dunst, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Russel Crowe, Mark Ruffalo and more

It’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar!

The actress revealed she was sued by McDonald’s over the ad.

Speaking to Buzzfeed UK, Gellar, 45, recalled how a controversial Burger King commercial landed her in muddy water as a youngster.

“I was the first person to say another competitor’s name in a job, and so McDonald’s turned around and sued the advertising agency, Burger King and me at five,” she said.

Furthermore, she never got to eat the burger! 

“What I learned on that day is that when they make the burgers for commercials, they glue each seed on it to make it look all perfect and beautiful, and then they shellac it, and they paint it. You guys, TV is not real,” she joked.
