That is a ridiculously detailed commercial for only 30 seconds. I applaud Old Spice for having the guts to do something like this.

He is a handsome man, and I’m not gay 0_0.
I don’t think the jeans were CGI, and I’m glad he didn’t reveal it. Makes figuring it out much more fun.

I guess I figured that the harness was upper-body only, but it probably is around the hips. Hmm… the mystery continues.

I think that he rolled up his jeans underneath those long shorts, and someone was in the water to help. Check out how bulky the shorts look when he’s walking around.

I didn’t even notice the pants change until Kevin mentions it. Why won’t Isiah tell us how he did it? I think it may be a quick cut or some sort of CGI.
