Here's two from the photographer's site who worked on the ad:

He's also here in the upper right, I think in a Fruit of the Loom commercial:

So to me that means this is either a real ad with real people, and the female model just happens to look like the OOP. Or the people who made this ad stole the guy's likeness, too. But stealing the face of a guy who's job is doing ads, to make an ad, seems pretty ballsy.
I guess a third option is the guy doesn't exist at all, and all of that stuff is a rabbit hole of inauthenticity.
