Mr. Clean has a new face, and he’s from Atlanta.
Proctor & Gamble recently held a contest to find someone who could fill the sparkly white shoes of that iconic clean guy – at least on a part-time basis. Georgia native Mike Jackson, with his bald head and muscular frame, fit the bill.
“It’s definitely a dream come true to become the next Mr. Clean,” Jackson said in a news release. “While it’s impossible to replace the iconic Mr., I’m excited for this opportunity to help people tackle the most seemingly impossible messes while he’s away … and have some fun!”
The contest was launched in September and was kicked off by actor Kellan Lutz taking his shot at the role.
Jackson, who works in sports marketing, event management and emceeing, beat out hundreds of applicants to win $20,000, a big supply of Mr. Clean magic erasers and to star in a 2017 Mr. Clean calendar. He will fill in for the original Mr. Clean “while he takes a much-deserved extended vacation,” P & G said.
Jackson also is getting in on Super Bowl 51 action. He will be on hand to support Mr. Clean as he makes his Super Bowl ad debut in Houston.
