What Happened To All Of Your Favorite Commercial Stars
Monica Ruiz, Peloton TV Spot – Undisclosed Amount
Peloton
How could we talk about famous commercial actors without bringing up Monica Ruiz, the actress who played the wife in a widely panned Peloton holiday commercial? In case you missed the ad, in it, Ruiz looks concerned as she begins a yearlong fitness journey, sparked by the gift of a Peloton exercise bike for Christmas. Unfortunately, the commercial received swift backlash from viewers who considered it sexist. They felt that the wife was being forced into exercising by her husband. Ruiz has a different theory…
“Honestly, I think it was just my face,” Ruiz said. “My eyebrows looked worried, I guess. People were like, ‘You look scared.’ I’m telling you, it was my face, that was the problem, and it just exploded it from there.” Thankfully, it won’t have an impact on her career, as Ruiz will appear in two episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful later this year.
