Relax Your Mind With Zoë Kravitz in This Soothing ASMR-Inspired Michelob Ultra Ad

Turns out, Zoë Kravitz has the perfect voice for ASMR videos. The Big Little Lies actress stars in a new commercial for Michelob Ultra's Pure Gold USDA-certified organic beer, in which she shows off her impressive autonomous sensory meridian response skills. The ad - which is set to air during the Super Bowl - features Kravitz against the lush backdrop of Honolulu ("Not too shabby of a place to work," as Kravitz told POPSUGAR), as she takes the audience through the surprisingly soothing process of cracking open an ice-cold beer. Kravitz opened up to POPSUGAR about the ASMR experience, as well as why Michelob Ultra's organic beer hits the spot.

"I did some research before we shot and watched some [ASMR] videos, and I think it's really interesting," Kravitz said over the phone on Jan. 25. "Even if I didn't experience that tingly sensation, it always captured my attention in a way that I found really calming. When something can actually fully grab your attention, you're not thinking about the millions of thoughts that are constantly running through your head. I find that element to be really calming."

When it came to getting involved with the Pure Gold campaign, it seemed to be a natural fit for Kravitz, who prioritizes clean, organic products in her own life. "I love the idea of an organic beer that's available to the masses," Kravitz said. "I try to eat and drink and use skin products [that are] organic, because it makes me feel better and more responsible knowing the ingredients that I'm putting inside of my body. I loved the idea of being the messenger for this wonderful organic option."

So, is Kravitz - an actress, singer, and model - also a big beer drinker? "I like beer! I have to be in the right mood, but I think I'm like that with everything," she laughed. "The thing about beer is: when you want one, and you get one, and it's cold and it's the right moment. . . it's just the most satisfying thing. It's just so perfect when it's perfect." I couldn't have said it better myself. See Zoë Kravitz's ASMR skills when you watch the commercial above now. Cheers!

Sex Education's Aimee and Adam Are Dating in Real Life, and They're Absolutely Adorable

If you haven't watched Sex Education yet, please do us all a favor and treat yourself to a delightful binge-watch. Not only has the Netflix series given us some of the best performances on TV, it's also sparked a real-life romance between two costars. If there's anything TV viewers love more than complex characters and fleshed out storylines, it's an on-set romance.

While the onscreen relationship between Sex Education's Aimee Gibbs and Adam Groff hits a brick wall in the first episode, actors Aimee Lou Wood and Connor Swindells seem to be making it work just fine offscreen. Neither one has really spoken about their relationship to the public, but they regularly show one another affection on their Instagram pages. For Swindells's birthday, Wood posted several photos of the two of them, writing, "HAPPY DAY OF BIRTH SWINDELLS YOU BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT MAN. You've been a warrior king forever in the hundreds of lives you have already lived but now you're my 🤴." She went on to add, "AND I DONT GIVE A F IF ANYONE THINKS THAT IS CRINGEY cuz I'm trying to be as brave as u are. I'm owning my narrative 😉. Big thank you to Adam Groff and Aimee Gibbs for making all this possible."

Check out their adorable photos ahead while we comb the internet for our "WoodElls" merch.

In Addition to a Child's Play Remake, the Evil Chucky Doll Is ALSO Getting a New TV Show

It appears that 2019 is officially the year of "Chucky." This week, Entertainment Weekly reported that a new TV series starring the possessed doll has gotten the green light from the folks over at SyFy. Yes, that's in addition to the Child's Play remake that is locked in for a Summer release. If you're like me, you probably think that's two Chucky projects too many. Alas, this is the way the world is. Interestingly enough, both projects are coming from entirely different creative teams - one of them boasts the original creator! - which means the final products may also be very different. Will one be more horror and one more comedy? Is Chucky's bride going to make a cameo? Let's give a quick overview of what the TV series had to offer.

1. The Premise

The powers that be behind this particular iteration promise "a fresh take on the franchise, allowing us to explore Chucky's character with a depth that is uniquely afforded by the television series format, while staying true to the original vision that has terrorized audiences for over three decades now." So basically, it sounds like they might be delving into the root mythology of the demon doll and really fleshing out some important backstory.

2. The Brains

For this project, the original creator, Don Mancini, has signed back on to dive into the story. Previously, he cowrote 1988's Child's Play, and he also wrote all six sequels, three of which he directed. Mancini is on board as writer and executive producer, and longtime franchise partner David Kirschner is also in the mix.

3. The Extra Details

In the new report, EW expounded on what Mancini's idea for the series would be. "One of the things that has kept the franchise alive and thriving for so long is that we've reinvented it in different ways, by making it a comedy, and then back to horror," he said. "But the sheer storytelling real estate of doing eight to 10 episodes . . . will allow us to delve into characters and relationships in a way that we're never afforded in just a 90-minute movie. That's really exciting to me. We're going to be able to explore different avenues with different characters that are among fan favorites. A lot of times people will say, 'What's Tiffany's backstory?' and 'What about Glen or Glenda?' All these different avenues. Now we have a way of exploring all of this, and that's really exciting."

4. The Premiere

We don't have a date currently, but there's a bit of guesswork we can do. Mancini has been talking about the project since last Summer, and he's very familiar with Chucky's world. If he hasn't already written a pilot script, you can bet he'll bang one out pretty quick.

If things run smoothly, the show could be in full production by Summer, which means it could feasibly air sometime in the Fall. Perhaps even around our favorite spooky holiday of the year, Halloween! We can't imagine a better time to drop it.
