A Conversation With the Most Interesting Man in the World
You may not know Jonathan Goldsmith by name, but if you saw him walking down the street, you’d probably recognize his face. Goldsmith has been acting since the ‘70s. He’s been on Dallas, MacGuyver, Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, T.J. Hooker, the A-Team, Dynasty, CHiPs and Charlie’s Angels. You probably know him best as The Most Interesting Man in the World, the ultra-fascinating, smooth-talking spokesman for Dos Equis.
I had the opportunity to speak with Jonathan, and as it turns out, the actor behind The Most Interesting Man in the World is a pretty interesting guy himself. He’s articulate, well-read and he lives on a boat. He’s traveled the world, supported many causes and he’s a damn good story-teller.
CS: Is there a burden for being recognized as the most interesting man in the world?
JG: Is it a burden? No. It’s an absolute joy for me. I’ve had a very good career for over 40 years. And the attention that I’m getting, I absolutely love. It’s wonderful. It’s kind of non-stop and I really appreciate it.
CS: Nice. So do people stop you on the street all the time and say things like, “stay thirsty?”
JG: That’s most frequent thing I get is, “stay thirsty” and a lot of people say, “Please, please just leave this message on my voicemail” or “talk to my fiancé” or whatever, but and it’s nice that people remember more of the lines than I do and some of them are even from the first year. We just entered the fourth year of the campaign so that’s very flattering and I love that, of course. It makes people smile.
CS: I read that the inspiration behind your character came from an old friend, Fernando Llamas, the father of Lorenzo Llamas.
JG: That’s correct.
CS: What is it about your old friend that you channel when you play The Most Interesting Man in the World?
JG: Well, I just he was one the most charming raconteurs that I’ve ever met. A real man’s man. He was an athlete. He was an incredible swordsman and charming. He could tell the dirtiest jokes and it was never vulgar. He was, I guess, the quintessential gentleman, and man’s man and he was just a delight to be around. I live on a sailboat and he was one of my sailing buddies. We had a production company together at one time and when he passed on I scattered his ashes off my boat.

Chupacabra Pictures and Video – Chupacabras Found in Texas!
Goat suckers have been spotted in Texas! Chupacabras, those mythical goat munchers from Mexican lore, have found their way to the Lone Star State. Texas law dictates that the only good chupacabra is a dead chupacabra, so of course, the ugly, hairless coyote-lookin’ critters that have entered the Lone Star State have all been shot and killed. Here are some shots of the no-longer-living chupacabra suspects:
I know, gross, huh? Anyway, if you see one of these nasty goat slurpers in your neighborhood, make sure you shoot it, and shoot it dead. Cause these anti-goat varmints are fugly, man.
How fugly? Take it away NBC News:
And if for some unknown reason you’ve never even heard of a Chupacabra before, here’s a little background on ‘em:

The Boss: The Passing of a Bittersweet Baseball Era
When news of George Steinbrenner’s death broke, I wanted to jump on the story like a media whore outside a red carpet event. I thought about it for awhile, became fairly indignant in my thought, then moved on to sadness, confusion and ultimately this funky feeling of joy mixed with sorrow.
I love baseball. I never much cared for George Steinbrenner. I don’t think he cared one iota about baseball. I think he cared about business. No, I didn’t know the man, I knew his reputation, as did so many others. Had I ever met him, I’m sure I would have adored him. I’m weird like that.
With his passing at the age of 80 due to complications from a heart attack as well as other ailing bodily functions, I could only feel sad for his family, for the fine athletes who played for him, for the managers who fought with and still somehow loved him and the Yankees fan base who saw a “win at all costs” empire constructed under his tenure.
For the rest of the baseball world, there’s a part of me that thinks, “It’s probably best that he went before the cap came–that would have really killed the guy.” And make no mistake Yankee fans. It’s a’comin’. If the next commish doesn’t push for it off the bat, I’ll lead the charge for his removal.
Sadly, all I can think of when I think of The Boss: A monopolizer who didn’t really look beyond his own interests to consider what would be best for the game of baseball. We all know people like that in “our own lives,” and we don’t like them. Then they die, and we feel bad for not liking them. It begs the question: What is the most lasting memory of George Steinbrenner’s legacy?
I’m sure Steinbrenner will eventually be remembered as the legendary Yankees owner who took the franchise from worst to first, but you just have to think that within that conversation, there will always be at least one voice which will sound off with a completely opposing opinion.
His legacy is bittersweet–and there’s no need to sugarcoat it.
