Sarah Michelle Gellar: McDonald’s sued me when I was 5 over Burger King ad

Sarah Michelle Gellar is an American actress who is best known for her iconic role as Buffy Summers in the hit television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. However, what many people may not know is that Gellar was involved in a legal dispute when she was just five years old.

In 1984, Gellar starred in a commercial for Burger King that featured her saying the line “Burger King, home of the Whopper.” This did not sit well with McDonald’s, who sued Gellar and Burger King for trademark infringement. The case was eventually dismissed, and Gellar was allowed to keep the money she earned from the commercial.

Despite the legal battle, Gellar has fond memories of the commercial shoot. She has said that it was the first time she was on a professional set and that she had a great time. She also said that the experience gave her a taste of what it was like to be an actor.

As an adult, Gellar has gone on to have a successful acting career. She has appeared in numerous television shows and movies, and is currently starring in the show Star Wars Rebels. She also continues to be a successful businesswoman, having launched her own food company, Foodstirs, in 2015.

The experience that Gellar had when she was five years old is an interesting footnote in her career. It serves as a reminder of how even at a young age, Gellar was determined to make her mark in the entertainment industry.
