Winona Ryder Is Back With Edward Scissorhands’ Son in New Super Bowl Ad: Watch
Like Edward, Edgar has trouble functioning in the normal world. When trying to yank on chain on a bus to get off at the next stop, he accidentally cuts the cord with his sharp fingers, getting himself banned from public transportation; while trying to catch a football, he punctures and deflates it; and rather than creating elaborately shaped bushes, he cuts up spectacular salads. To cheer him up, Kim buys the teen a Cadillac LYRIQ, which has a hands-free super cruise feature that allows him to drive without destroying the steering wheel. (No word about a seat belt that his hands won’t slice through, though.) “And Edgar drove off into the sunset,” Kim says as the ad ends. “But don’t worry: He still makes it home in time for dinner — occasionally.” A...

So, there’s no special guests, no.” In a recent Billboard cover story, The Weekend’...
