BEIJING, China --
Kellogg’s has unveiled a prototype Corn Flakes cover featuring Olympic champ Michael Phelps.
As Phelps’ agent revealed exclusively to Access Hollywood on Monday, Phelps — the winningest Olympian of all time, who scored eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympics alone, will front two cereal boxes for Kellogg’s, due out this fall this fall.
”[There will be] no Wheaties box this time around; it’s going to be Kellogg’s,” Phelp’s longtime agent Peter Carlisle told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush exclusively.
Kellogg’s confirmed to Access that Phelps will appear on both Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. Boxes will arrive on store shelves in mid-September, but the company released this image, which they’ve noted is a “prototype” early Wednesday morning.
