Eye Candy: Isaiah Mustafa

It’s hard not to stare when The Spice Man is in your vicinity. Isaiah was spotted recently running shirtless on the beach, and we’re sure he took a few hearts with him as he ran by.

Isaiah clearly puts time in at the gym; he’s got rock solid arms and abs to prove it.

If we could insert ourselves into this picture right now we would. Oh Isaiah, you know exactly what you’re doing.

We’ve been in love with Isaiah since the minute he rode off with our hearts on that horse in the Old Spice commercial that launched his career as a resident heartthrob and The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.

Once Isaiah’s Old Spice debut became an instant hit he was tapped to star in both print and TV ads for the brand, all of which are still big hits with the ladies.

Isaiah once nicknamed his abs “The Solution”, since they’ve brought him so much fame.

Sales for Old Spice deodorant jumped 106 percent after Isaiah’s ads went viral.

Isaiah was born the youngest of seven. It might have been tough standing out among that pack but he’s a real stand out star now.

Isaiah was once a contestant on The Weakest Link, and won $47,000. He used the money to began pursuing a career in acting. We all know what came after his first big commercial break.

Isaiah’s known for having a lot of lovely assets, but it’s his killer smile we’re hooked on.

Last fall Microsoft asked Isaiah to cover those abs in wet clingy swim gear to help promote the launch of a new Window 7 smartphone.

This signature grin stole hearts across the web and the globe and still remains the key to the Spice Man’s success.

Whether he’s atop a horse, on a boat, or just standing on a beach, Isaiah Mustafa can do no wrong.

Even when he keeps his clothes on the star of Madea’s Big Happy Family looks the part.

Want to win over Isaiah? Beware of nagging. “When women tell me to do something more than once. Give me 10 minutes to process it, and if I haven’t done it, then tell me again,” he once said in an interview.

Isaiah makes quite a few red carpet rounds and when he does he’s always dressed to impress.

Isaiah is a comic book fan and a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, and when he’s not stealing hearts he enjoys creative writing and comedy.

Growing up in California Isaiah ran track and played basketball in high school and earned a football scholarship to Arizona State University.

Want more Isaiah? Head to a theater near. After signing a talent deal with NBC last year he was cast to co-star in the new movie ‘Horrible Bosses’ was released over the weekend.

As his career has grown so has Isaiah’s muscle mass. But even before his gigantic guns, photographed here some time last year, he still had a dreamy physique.

Last year Isaiah stopped by the ESSENCE offices to pay our staff a visit and boy did the women swoon.
