Remember when Marshawn Lynch had an aversion to speaking on camera? Those days are long gone. Like, “ridiculous o’clock” long ago.

The reason behind Lynch’s daredevil-ish wheelies in Scotland makes a bit more sense with the release of a new Skittles commercial that shows the hilarious misadventures of the former Seahawks running back.

The premise of the roughly three-minute long video is that, with all eyes on Houston, Texas for Super Bowl LI, Lynch brought Skittles to the other Houston – in Scotland. During his trip, he encounters his first (jaw-droppingly old) castle, considers the merits of adding the kilt styling to his Beast Mode apparel brand and gets into a sword fight with some “warriors” who came from the “I don’t know if you call them woods.” Oh, and some nice slow-motion smooth jamming on the bagpipes.

In other words, it’s classic Marshawn.
