關智斌(Kenny)憑健康形象成為莎莎旗下品牌首位男代言人，由於要赤裸上身露兩點及六塊腹肌，關智斌為了以最佳狀態示人，拍廣告前作地獄式訓練及戒絕油鹽，揚言要將身材變成鋼條。

　　近日忙於為新專輯四出宣傳的關智斌，日前特別抽空拍攝護膚品廣告，其中一個造型要求關智斌赤裸上身，展現男性性感的一面，當關智斌知道後，即自行作地獄式訓練，每天到健身房操練及曬太陽燈，飲食方面亦戒掉油和鹽，即使外出任務亦自備雞肉、雞蛋飯盒，目的是把自己練成「鋼條」，如此有心，獲得任務人員大讚決心可嘉。

　　關智斌表示為配合廣告已用盡辦法以最佳狀態示人，說：「差不多隔一日就要做facial和早睡早起，自己都驚奇怎能過這麼規律的生活！」廣告中，關智斌分別飾演斯文工薪階級及到健身房踩單車及打拳運動的帥哥，不過鏡頭後的關智斌也不忘做sit-up熱身，關智斌說：「赤裸上身最緊張，因為就是自己努力健身節食的成績表。」
