In Cadillac's 2021 Super Bowl advert, Timothée Chalamet is a boy with scissors for hands.

The Call Me By Your Name actor is Edgar, the son of Edward Scissorhands from the iconic 1990 film starring Johnny Depp.

Winona Ryder reprises her role as Kim, and Edgar's mother. The one-minute clip takes a look at Edgar's daily struggles with scissors for hands – he gets banned from the bus, can't get creative at work, and he deflates a football.

But when his mom buys him a LYRIQ – which has a hands-free driving feature – Edgar can drive off into the sunset.

In an interview with Variety Winona said that she "loved the idea of working with Timothée, and the fact that it was an electric car was important too."

On playing homage to the original film, Timothée told Vogue: "We wanted to create a character that didn't make you blink in terms of a present-day setting but was a total homage to the character Johnny Depp created."
