Cindy Crawford is heading back to the Super Bowl. The model has recreated her iconic 1992 Super Bowl ad for Pepsi, now featuring her 18-year-old son.

Crawford recently filmed the commercial, which will debut at Super Bowl 52 on February 4. It includes her son, Presley Walker Gerber, as well as footage from Michael Jackson’s memorable Pepsi commercial.

The 51-year-old said she didn’t hesitate to recreate the ad 26 years later, especially since she was able to work with her son.

The new Super Bowl ad is part of the company’s “Pepsi Generation” campaign honouring the brand’s 120-year history in pop culture.

The original features Crawford in a tank top and denim shorts made from her own jeans she brought to the set that day driving a Lamborghini and stopping at a fuel station to buy a can of soda. She said she felt the 1992 spot “became such a classic for so many reasons.”

“It was one of those moments in my career that when I walked down the street, people were like, ‘Pepsi!’ Or I’d be at a bar and people would send me over a Pepsi,” she said, laughing. “And it’s funny because during Halloween a lot of women will dress up as me in that commercial.”
