Isaiah Mustafa Plays Obama in Israeli Beer Ad

Old Spice guy, Isaiah Mustafa has whipped out his Old Spice persona and lent it to Israeli beer brand Maccabee for an ad created by Allenby Concept House. In the ad, a man’s distaste for Maccabee results in Mustafa — acting very Presidential in an oval office of sorts — turning the situation into a national issue of epic proportion.

It’s garnered 572,000 views on YouTube so it can’t be all bad, right? That man’s gotta work and what better gig than an overly long overseas commercial in which he can turn his towel-wearing Old Spice character into Presidential stateliness?
