American actor Rob Lowe is the latest celebrity to team up with KFC to promote its new Zinger sandwich, transforming into the brand's iconic founder, Colonel Harland Sanders.

The Code Black star commented 'My grandfather was the head of the Ohio chapter of the National Restaurant Association in the 1960s and took me to meet Colonel Harland Sanders when I was a kid. It was a big deal. I thought this would be a nice homage to both Colonel Sanders and to my grandfather'.
