Ringo Starr Admits He’s Never Eaten Pizza in His Life

Ringo Starr's history as a one-time star of a Pizza Hut commercial is made all the more confusing by the admission he's never actually eaten pizza.

Appearing in a 1995 ad campaign for the chain, Starr promoted Pizza Hut’s newly-introduced stuffed crust as part of a 30-second spot which saw him teasing a reunion from The Beatles. The ad’s punchline sees Starr joined by members of The Monkees instead (“Wrong lads,” he quips), with all four musicians appearing to bite a piece of pizza crust-first. Bolstered by guest appearances from Alison Krauss, Molly Tuttle, Lucius, Larkin Poe, and Billy Strings, the country record has so far been a commercial success.
