Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin’s baby, has just entered the entertainment industry – first with his Wonderland pistachios commercial, followed by his upcoming Playgirl gig.

In the ad for Wonderful pistachios, Johnston appears onscreen with his bodyguard and manager Tank Jones. Jones appears to survey the scene, and when he signals it’s safe, Johnston cracks open a nut as a voiceover states, “Now Levi Johnston does it with protection.”

Although the company’s blog says “no babies were created in the filming of this ad,” the head of corporate communications Joan Wickham said, “We aren’t making any type of pregnancy comment. We just tried to pick quirky celebs doing funny things. We wanted something to catch attention.”

Aside from the nut ad, Levi Johnston has also signed up to pose nude for Playgirl. The 19-year-old’s lawyer Rex Butler said he is now hitting the gym three hours a day, six nights a week under trainer Marvin Jones. When the issue will be released has not been announced, but expect it to go online before 2009 ends.
