Burly New York Jets center Nick Mangold will channel his inner reality-show goddess for a Pepsi commercial in which he’ll spoof Kim Kardashian in Kanye West’s “Bound 2” video.
Six-foot-five, 300-pound Mangold will appear as a sultry Kardashian Sunday during the Grammys.
In the over-the-top video, a topless Kardashian straddles West, and the couple canoodle while riding a motorcycle over a bumpy mountain road.
It has already attracted “SNL” spoofs and one by James Franco and Seth Rogen, with Franco playing West and a pudgy, bare-chested Rogen as Kardashian.
While Mangold doesn’t appear shirtless, he is draped across a motorcycle with a wind machine artfully blowing his long blond locks. He also rides behind suit-wearing CBS sports analyst Shannon Sharpe, who will play West.
“It was awkwardly funny,” a source told us.
Pepsi’s “Halftime at the Grammys” is a short mock concert featuring appearances by current and former football legends, including Terry Bradshaw, Mike Ditka and Deion Sanders.
The show is one of several marketing spots to promote Pepsi’s Super Bowl Halftime show on Feb. 2, which will feature Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
A teaser for “Halftime at the Grammys” aired during Sunday’s AFC and NFC championship games. A rep for Pepsi declined to comment.
