If there's been one discrepancy with Isaiah Mustafa's second Old Spice ad, it's that the spot appears to use CGI—something the original did not. Mustafa says this one was completely CGI-free too. In the interview below, from G4's Attack of the Show, Mustafa walks you through the new ad step by step. Apparently, his legs in the opening shot are prosthetics, and he was wearing a harness and wire the entire time, which is how he's able to swan dive into the hot tub. The one secret he won't divulge is how he changes from shorts into jeans at the end—though he says that was the hardest part of the sequence, which took "36 or 37 takes" to get right. The whole thing was shot on a custom set built—including the man-made waterfall—on a lake in Vallermo, Calif. One final piece of trivia from the G4 clip: Smelling Mustafa in person can lead to pregnancy in women.

This is a weird mental image. I've seen people sarcastically laugh while rolling their eyes. But I don't believe I've ever witness someone laughing hysterically while rolling their eyes. Videos please?

I love Old Spice commercials. The ones with Bruce Campbell were awesome as well.

LOL at this comment...
Look at your man, now back at me, now back at your man. Sadly you don't have a man but you could have one if you would make your last boyfriend a sandwich when he asked for it.

well if that be the case, why not just do away with deoderant. women are more drawn to you when you sweat. it's the pheromones. lerls.

If women are drawn to sweat, I've got buckets to spare. Maybe I should bottle and sell it?

In that case, I'd sell it as a bacon-scented air freshener.
