Downy has been teasing us with a series of social spots featuring a celebrity who won’t unveil his identity until he proves that Downy Unstopables scents last up to 12 weeks. Now, the celebrity is convinced of the validity of the claim, and he pulls down the sweatshirt he’s had over his head to reveal… Downy McBride.
