Cannes, France-- Any lady saddened that her man is not Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa now has an option other than giving him body wash: She can cast the lug in a green screen reenactment of Mustafa's first ad for the brand.

Well, she can if her man is in Cannes this week.

About 220 delegates have created more than 150 ads since the festival kicked off yesterday. Once recorded, YouTube uploads these renditions to a dedicated channel.
