Chicago sky star Angel Reese, who recently landed a major endorsement extension with Reebok, is now the narrator of the new Beats by Dre ad, which stars some of the most iconic sports stars ever: from Lionel Messi to Serena Williams, including LeBron James, Shohei Ohtani and more.
Immediately after the ad was released, Reese commented on it on her X account: “Athletes get it. Narrated by ME.” The WNBA star not only lends her voice for the ad, as she also has a cameo and is referred as a “walking double-double.”
Tennis star Naomi Osaka, Man City forward Erling Haaland, Olympic silver medalist climber Miho Nonaka, Olympic gold medalist Sha’Carri Richardson, F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo, University of Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and Lakers G Bronny James complete the star-studded campaign.
The script opens with Reese’s voiceover saying, ‘It’s called chasing your dreams,’ as scenes show the stars practicing their sports, each with subtle nods to their nicknames or achievements in their respective areas.
Reese, who has an endorsement with the brand since she was playing in college with LSU, has been enjoying the WNBA off-season as a true celebrity. Apart from keeping her podcast, she was also recently seen in the CFDA Awards rocking platinum blonde hair.
