Old Spice has set its "Superfan" plan in motion, officially handing its latest commercial to a single fan—a 16-year-old named Chris Gatewood—to do whatever he wants with before Monday, when it breaks on TV. Gatewood got the call, literally, from Isaiah Mustafa, as you can see in the video below. He was chosen apparently for the Old Spice parody video he did back in October (also posted below). So far, he's not revealing details of the spot, but he says on Twitter: "The new Old Spice ad is absolutely amazing! If you think the previous ones were great, the next one will blow you away!" Well done, Chris.
