McDonald’s Unveils Hollywood’s Favorite Breakfast Orders — See What the Stars Are Eating

The 97th Academy Awards aired this past Sunday, and it’s safe to say that many categories were filled with tough competition. Critics agree that any of the nominees in the major categories could’ve walked away as winners, as each one had a compelling case. While the Oscars highlighted the stars of the big screen, McDonald’s is now shining a spotlight on the stars of the fast food world, hoping we see its breakfast menu with just as much admiration.

In the hours following the glitz and glamour of the Oscars, McDonald’s unveiled a new commercial featuring Hollywood’s finest — including some of this year’s Oscar nominees — and asked them a simple but intriguing question: What’s your go-to McDonald’s breakfast order?

The result is a 30-second ad that features a delightful mix of celebrities, from Teyana Taylor and Edgar Ramirez to Michael B. Jordan and Jackie Chan, all sharing their favorite breakfast items from the golden arches. As expected, the answers are as varied as the performances that graced the Academy Awards stage this year.

In true McDonald’s fashion, the ad does more than just showcase breakfast orders. It includes receipts that list even more celebrity selections, sprinkled with a few fun Easter eggs for fans who love both the brand and the stars themselves.

McDonald's Celebrity Meals: A Taste of Hollywood

McDonald’s has long known that a well-timed partnership with big-name celebrities can elevate its brand. The Travis Scott Meal in 2020 marked the beginning of a new wave of celebrity-branded fast food, followed by the BTS Meal, the Cardi B & Offset Meal, and even the Angel Reese Special. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll get an official Kieran Culkin Meal — a fun and affordable option, if we’re lucky!

So, what exactly are our favorite celebrities munching on for breakfast? Let’s dive in:

Colman Domingo's Multifaceted Breakfast

Colman Domingo was one of the standout performances this year in Sing Sing, earning praise for his compelling portrayal in the prison drama. His McDonald’s breakfast order, on the other hand, is just as multifaceted. Domingo goes all-in with an Egg McMuffin Meal (hash browns and coffee included), topped with strawberry jelly and ketchup, and, of course, bottled water to stay hydrated. As if that weren’t enough, he also adds a side of Strawberry Banana Smoothie — a drink often overlooked in McDonald's breakfast lineup, but certainly deserving of a nod, much like Sing Sing itself.

Julia Fox's Sweet and Saucy Breakfast

Julia Fox, known for her bold and often avant-garde style, brings that same flair to her McDonald’s breakfast order. Her response? A decadent spread of Hot Cakes paired with an impressive ten (yes, ten) syrup packets, a hot chocolate topped with extra whipped cream, and three warm chocolate chip cookies. While some might be overwhelmed by the sugar rush, Fox clearly enjoys starting her day on a sugary high. Perhaps it’s her way of keeping things as unpredictable as her career choices.

Teyana Taylor's Breakfast Detail

Singer and actress Teyana Taylor knows how to craft a breakfast order that hits every note. Her McDonald’s breakfast is nothing short of a masterpiece: a large Orange Juice, Hot Cakes, Sausage, Eggs, and a McChicken Biscuit with Cheese (a fan favorite that occasionally disappears from the menu). And she doesn’t stop there — she requests jelly, extra butter, and extra syrup on the side, making sure her meal is as detailed and well-composed as her performances.

Kieran Culkin's Mischievous Breakfast

Kieran Culkin, known for his dry, mischievous characters on both the big and small screen, offers up the most minimalistic (and possibly the most trolling) breakfast order of all: one small Coke. No frills. No fuss. Just a simple drink, proving that Culkin’s on-screen persona may not be too far from his real-life approach to breakfast.

Hollywood’s Love Affair with McDonald’s

McDonald’s has long been an icon in the fast food world, and these celebrity endorsements only reaffirm its place in Hollywood's heart. From the star-studded Oscar nominees to the quirky yet relatable meals, McDonald’s continues to remind us that no matter how glitzy the red carpet gets, sometimes, there’s nothing better than starting your day with a simple, satisfying meal from the drive-thru.

So, what’s your go-to McDonald’s breakfast order? Maybe it’s as elaborate as Teyana Taylor’s or as straightforward as Kieran Culkin’s. Whatever it is, one thing’s for sure: Hollywood’s favorite breakfast spot has something for everyone.
