Watch Lil Nas X and Sam Elliott Have a Cowboy Dance Off to 'Old Town Road'

In a new 60-second ad for Doritos which will air during this weekend's Super Bowl , the young musician and mustache-sporting actor play up their Western images, and duel over a bag of the brand's updated Cool Ranch flavor chip. But rather than engage in a game of quick draw, the pair have a straight-up cowboy dance battle. The song choice? None other than 'Old Town Road', of course.

While his career has spanned more than five decades, Elliott is perhaps best known to younger audiences for his role in 2018's A Star Is Born remake, in which he played Bradley Cooper's older brother. His performance, which included his trademark gruff drawl, earned him his first-ever Oscar nomination. This Super Bowl ad for Doritos marks his first TV commercial in over 40 years and boy is it a doozy.

"I was a little concerned about having to dance at this point in my life," Elliott told Adweek . "I used loved to dance, Ive always been athletic but, you know, at 75 things slow down... I wasnt worried about opening my mouth and talking, but the dancing was a challenge."

Elliott, who was introduced to Lil Nas X's music by his daughter, adds that the young star was a pleasure to work with. "I found him a pretty solid kid. He worked hard," he said. "Hed never been in front of a camera on film set before, and he was up to the challenge. And he couldnt have been nicer to be around."
