'Old Spice Guy' Proposes on Behalf of a Fan

"Old Spice Guy" proposing for a fan.
YouTube
George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Will Smith...these used to be the names mentioned when the topic of "The Perfect Man" was discussed. If you haven't heard, that debate is now over. What is the name of the reigning "Perfect Man"? Well, not many people actually know his name (it's Isaiah Mustafa), but mention the title of "Old Spice Guy" and people probably know who you are talking about. Mention "that guy in the Old Spice ads wearing nothing more than a bath towel," and they'll definitely know.
As seen in the overwhelmingly popular commercials, Old Spice Guy can do, well, pretty much everything (and they imply that a man who uses the product could do pretty much everything, too). On Tuesday, this guy performed perhaps his most amazing feat to date: he got a woman to agree to marry a mere mortal man.
That mortal, Johannes S. Beals, now known to the world as "Jsbeals," bowed down to the greatness of the deodorant pitchman -- via Twitter -- and asked Mustafa to propose to his girlfriend on his behalf.

Of course, the irresistible charm of Old Spice Guy worked. How could a line like, "your love has blossomed from a seed into a fully grown love plant and now it's time to fertilize that plant," delivered by a rippling-muscled hunk holding a ring and surrounded by candles, not? Yep, the girlfriend in question, Angela A. Hutt-Chamberlin, said yes.

Mustafa's videos have gotten such enormous attention on the internet -- the commercial that started it all has netted more than 13 million views at YouTube -- that even celebrities have been clamoring for Mustafa's attention.
Much as he can fly a jetfighter or get a random stranger's girlfriend to say yes to a wedding proposal, Old Spice Guy has also managed to keep up with all the attention.
He made a video for Rose McGowan, praising her movies and television work:

He sent roses to Alyssa Milano:

And, of course, these videos can't officially be considered an Internet phenomenon unless Ashton Kutcher is somehow involved. Rest assured, he is:

Mustafa even took it upon himself to give some advice to our nation's president, via ABC News personality, George Stephanopoulos. Among the nuggets of witty widsom Mustafa passed along were: from now on Obama should only be seen in a towel; Obama should begin his State of the Union address with "Hellloo ladies" instead of "My fellow Americans," and he should end the speech with a "presidential ab point."
So who is this muscled man? In addition to hawking the venerable antiperspirant, Mustafa is a former college wide receiver who signed with the Seattle Seahawks pro football team. His NFL career never fully materialized, so he turned to acting, eventually landing the job as Old Spice's "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like." The ad campaign -- which relies heavily on social media to complement the commercials -- has turned Mustafa into a media behemoth in his own right.
