Vegetarian Star

The “Old Spice Guy” Isaiah Mustafa told the world months ago he was following a vegan diet.

The good news is, he still is.

The bad news is, he needs a lesson on vegan cooking because even a woman who loves his scent won’t stick around if the only vegan item he can make is an almond milk shake.

Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice Man, told the New York Post one of the top secrets to being a great man (in addition to never using pick up lines and keeping up with your man-icure) was eating healthy. Although he admitted to loving steaks and burgers, he’s on a vegan cleanse that doesn’t even allow caffeine.

“I pretty much eat lentils and certain types of tofu,” Mustafa said, adding that he couldn’t wait for it to end. But a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno along with previous reports, reveals Mustafa is mainly peeved about his gluten-filled goodies.

“Here’s the tough one: no gluten.”

If that’s all he’s worried about, then maybe Old Spice Man will bring back whole wheat pasta and add some seitan to his manly life–leaving the unmanly animal flesh behind for good!

Watch a clip from Mustafa’s visit to The Tonight Show below.

Isaiah Mustafa embarked on a vegan cleanse and there’s data to show he’ll smell better even without Old Spice by doing so.

The sexy actor from the deodorant and fragrance commercials isn’t complaining about the lack of meat or dairy in his diet. He’s missing the whole wheat bread!

“Right now, I’m vegan-cleansing: no processed sugar, no caffeine, no alcohol, no animal products and no gluten,” the former NFL wide receiver said. “I never knew what gluten was before. Now I know exactly what it is, and it’s everything I want!”

Actually, this sounds rather promising. If all the guy wants is a muffin or spaghetti, there’s a chance he’ll stay animal-free once his cleanse is over. But we do feel for him, considering gluten is in so many delicious foods considered staples like bread, pasta, waffles, baked desserts, couscous, cereal, soy sauces and the beloved figure worshiped by the most devout vegans–seitan!

Might we suggest gluten-free pastas to get him through this rough period?

Isaiah Mustafa, better known as the Old Spice Man in the deodorant’s commercials, recently Tweeted about going on a vegan diet and asking if anyone who knew how to cook it.

Mustafa just might smell even better than Old Spice once he replaces steak, chicken and cheese with seitan, pasta and tempeh. A study showed ladies judge the body odor of a man fed a vegetarian diet to be “significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense.”

Women who’ve dated omnivores and vegans, chime in! Did your vegan men smell just as good as the veggie stir fry cooking in the kitchen?
