The New Face of KFC!

It looks like we’ve gone back in time! The Colonel Sanders is younger and hotter!

And you may not recognize him, but under that white hair is Vincent Kartheiser, a.k.a. Pete Campbell from Mad Men.

All of this is to reintroduce Kentucky Fried Chicken’s ‘Nashville Hot Chicken’. The franchise said in a statement, Vincent Kartheiser was the right fit for the campaign because he is a “young actor with lots of hair and flair. Vincent’s vintage good looks and piercing blue eyes made him perfect for the role.”

In the commercial below the Nashville hot chicken is portrayed as a temptation… a dangerously hot, finger lickin’ good temptation.

“It’s the Colonel Sanders you never thought you wanted!”
