Robert Gant Instagram – As we close out summer, this seemed like a fitting, good-humored salute to our transition into autumn. Though given the current heat wave, there’s still plenty of time for frosty treats. Wishing you all lots of Good Humor this weekend and in the season to come! Being the Good Humor man was another unexpected step in realizing that childhood vision of pursuing a career in Hollywood, which, to the kid I was back in Tampa, seemed like such a remote and hard to fathom possibility. Filmed over the course of six days, the commercial commemorated what was then the 75th anniversary of the Good Humor man, an old-time iconic symbol of childhood. (Can’t remember the number of afternoons I ran to my mom for money after hearing the ice cream man‘s music.) The campaign included a nationwide tour with stops at children’s hospitals where I got to do the dance, sing the rap, and hand out ice cream to some beautiful, smiling faces. Forever grateful for the experience. (On a side note, the little girl you see running in the spot (with a pink shirt and overalls) and who appears throughout, was actress @jenamalone in her first job as an actor. I remember her enthusiasm for getting the part, being in LA, and going for her dream. Congratulations, Jena, on all you’ve accomplished! You did it!) #GoodHumorMan #EndOfSummer #Heatwave #BestGayLife
