If you thought you had seen everything from Old Spice, check this out: In its latest ad, the brand's spokesman and former NFL player Terry Crews acts out the role of a hair on his own face.

Crews, who also starred in a Toyota Super Bowl ad this year featuring the Muppets, is one of Procter & Gamble brands' rotating endorsers.
