The man behind the man you wish your man could look like recently let slip on Twitter that he has gone vegan.
Isaiah Mustafa, the actor who plays the hilarious Old Spice Man in commercials for the more than 70-year-old brand, revealed his eco-friendly diet while discussing dinner plans with a friend.
“Can u cook Vegan,” he tweeted last week, “On a diet … frustrating.”
Animal rights organizations were particularly pleased with Mustafa's decision to drop the meat and dairy, with PETA tweeting:
“Dear @OldSpice guy, ur #vegan & like 2 get nekked — sounds like a PETA man 2 us! 1 more vid b4 u go 4 ur animal-loving fans?”
The 36-year-old actor is but the latest in a long line of buff men who have gone vegan while retaining their muscled physique. Earlier this year, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson transitioned to the diet, saying that it made him "feel more powerful".

I don't know, nor do I care, much about PETA, but I love the fact that Isaiah has gone vegan. It just makes him so much more attractive to me, and I didn't think that was possible. Yeah, I'm an Isaiah fangirl :P

guess you've never researched peta. ever. they kill most of the animals they rescue because they consider it more "humane" than letting them live in their current conditions. srsly. type in peta kills animals, i'm pretty sure you'll come up with something.
Mike Tyson getting more powerful. Didn't any of you read the Death of Superman?
While it's cool that he wanted his buddy to cook vegan it doesn't sound like he's the next PETA activist to me. He said he was on a diet (read temporary) and that it was frustrating!!
Hmmmm. Interesting comment isa. Pretty grand assumption. Not sure how you came up with that.
I used to use Old Spice for a long time and really liked it. I stopped because the company still tests on animals. Torturing animals for deodorant? Strange
gorgeous man. however i really hope he keeps his distance from PETA. it always makes me sad to find out that a beautiful boy is also an idiot.
PETA are animal killers and hypocrites. say no.
