On a recent episode of “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” viewers were introduced to an adorable and talented young boy named Russell Levering. This five-year-old stole the spotlight as he beat out over 2,000 other kids to star in a Welch’s commercial in 2004.
During his appearance on the talk show, Russell charmed Ellen and the audience with his cuteness and infectious personality. He was accompanied by his Dory doll, which only added to his charm.
Despite his young age, Russell has already dabbled in acting. In addition to the Welch’s commercial, he also appeared on “The Jay Leno Show” and a Christmas show called “Children’s Corner.” It’s clear that Russell has a natural talent for entertaining.
When Ellen asked how he got the Welch’s commercial, Russell explained that it was thanks to his manager. However, it turned out that his parents were the ones who brought him to the auditions. It seems that Russell has a supportive family backing him in his endeavors.
Ellen was curious about how Russell memorized all the lines for the commercial. However, Russell revealed that he didn’t need to memorize anything. The directors simply wanted him to speak naturally, showcasing his genuine love for grape juice.
Apart from his acting aspirations, Russell shared with Ellen his dream of becoming a scientist and a magician when he grows up. He explained that scientists are cool, and magicians can do magic, which he finds fascinating. To demonstrate his love for science, Russell even had a little science potion, which he described as liquid candy that is very sour.
During their chat, Ellen also surprised Russell with a gift. She presented him with a bunch of Nemo-themed items, including a doll and a DVD. Russell’s excitement was palpable, and it was clear that he was grateful for the generous gesture.
Russell’s infectiously happy demeanor and positive attitude made him a joy to watch on “The Ellen Degeneres Show.” His cuteness and talent have captured the hearts of many viewers, and it’s no wonder he was chosen to represent Welch’s in their commercial.
