Novak, 42, shared a few of the items he is now inadvertently modeling. He appears on the package for a rain slicker, while we get better looks at his scruffy face on boxes for an electric razor, rechargeable electric hair clippers, cologne sold in Sweden and face paint available in Uruguay.
There is a certain irony in his face’s being used to sell merchandise. Fans of “The Office” may recall that his character used images of his co-worker Phyllis on bottles of homemade pesto he was selling at a company garage sale in the seventh season of the Emmy-winning comedy.
He also used a picture of another co-worker, Oscar, on jars of salsa, so it definitely seems like life has imitated art for Ryan Howard.
