One of the most talked about ads during the Super Bowl was the Go Daddy ad featuring beautiful supermodel Bar Refaeli.

In the commercial, Refaeli makes out with Heiman, who is appearing as a nerd on the "business" side of the company. Business Insider spoke about the gig with the actor, who has worked on shows like "Parks and Recreation" and "American Pie 2".

"In the original breakdown [for casting], they said you have to be ok with kissing Bar Refaeli, a super model, in the Super Bowl," Heiman, 34, told Business Insider. "And I was like, is this a question? If someone's opposed to that, then he should get out of the business."

The actor had to work with a stand-in first before moving on to the real life supermodel

"They had me audition with a bunch of people, and in the first audition they had us kissing a blow up doll," Heiman continued. "And the doll had a name: Lindsay Lohan. Yeah, it was a good time."

The commercial was done a few times and the actor was prepared for it.

"I was the first one they wanted in the morning," he said. "They had me put on a bunch of lip balm, mouthwash, and chew gum to make it as sweet and tasty as possible."

Heiman has also appeared on "The OC" and said he was thrilled to be in the ad.

"It's an honor to be in a Super Bowl commercial with an iconic advertiser like Go Daddy-and with a super model" said Heiman, who it turns out is actually a Go Daddy hosting customer. His personal website, JesseHeiman.net, uses a Go Daddy domain.

Go Daddy has released its second Super Bowl ad before the big game, which starred Bar Refaeli as well as regular spokeswoman Danica Patrick.

The company has been known in the past for their controversial Super Bowl commercials, many of them starring Patrick. This years ad features Leonardo DiCaprio's ex-girlfriend, model Bar Refaeli, and is titled "Perfect Match".

The commercial shows Patrick alongside the model and a nerd on the computer, describing two sides of Go Daddy, the sexy side and the smart side for business, represented by "Walter. Patrick says that together "they are perfect" and then the two start to passionately make out.

The video zooms in close and has Refaeli really getting into before dropping the website name. The lucky actor playing Walter is Jesse Heiman, who had never been in a Super Bowl commercial before. The actor has appeared in many films and TV shows, including "The Socail Network" and "Parks and Recreation".

No word on if he ever kissed a model before.
