The Most Interesting Man in the World: The Exit Interview

As he closes the door on his decade-long Dos Equis campaign, Jonathan Goldsmith, the actor behind the iconic advertising character, reveals how he hung out with Jennifer Lawrence and traded bear-fighting tips with Leo DiCaprio.

Since 2007, he has served as an inspirational figurehead to legions of parched beer enthusiasts with a taste for adventure. Part Ernest Hemingway, part James Bond, he is known simply as The Most Interesting Man in the World, a tanned, bearded and effortlessly debonair mascot dreamed up by Havas advertising agency to sell Dos Equis, a Mexican import owned by the Amsterdam-based Heineken brewery.

The tongue-in-cheek character — whose boastful résumé includes details like "sharks have a week dedicated to him" and "presidents take his birthday off" — instantly clicked with the public. Since his debut, Dos Equis has seen sales increase threefold. But all interesting things must come to an end. And so on Wednesday, Dos Equis announced that the Most Interesting Man would soon embark on a "final journey" (he's been issued a one-way ticket to Mars). The character will live on, but the company is not saying who will fill his immense shoes.

The single greatest beneficiary of all this intrigue is arguably Jonathan Goldsmith, the 77-year-old veteran TV actor who beat out over 500 other men at a cattle-call audition to win the part that would finally make him a star. The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Goldsmith about bidding farewell to his alter ego and along with it an advertising era — one that would have made Don Draper proud.

How does it feel to know this character you’ve been with for almost a decade now is heading into the sunset?

Well, it feels like I’ve had a wonderful, wonderful journey with this. I feel like it was successful and I made a good contribution. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And one door has shut and 10 open. I’m thrilled of having the opportunity to take advantage of things I couldn’t do before because of contractual obligations.

Cary Grant once said, “To play yourself is the hardest thing in the world.” Did you feel the same way, having to carry this guy around with you all the time?

I’m frequently asked that. No, I don’t. I feel we are the sum total of our experience and I closely identified with this character, long before I ever had that audition. I always enjoyed life. I’ve had a capricious outlook and appreciation for so many things and I felt very close to the character. I didn’t have to think about it much. I just enjoyed myself.

What are your fan interactions like?

The graciousness and welcome that I received from so many people, so many demographics, was truly joyous. My wife and I were sitting at a Mexican restaurant in L.A. and this gentleman comes up to me and says, “Are you …?” And I said, “Yes.” “You know, I was talking to my seven-year-old boy asking him what’s he wants to do when he grows up, and he said, ‘I want to be the Most Interesting Man in the World.’”

A few weeks later, we're on the bus in Manhattan and a dapper octogenarian gentleman was getting off the bus and sees me, tells the driver to wait a second, comes over and taps me on the shoulder with his cane as if he was knighting me. He said, “Sonny, I want to be you.” It’s brought so many smiles and so much fun to people.

I understand they had originally wanted to go younger with the part.

The casting director called and said they really loved me, but they wanted to reach a younger demographic. My wife, who was my manager at the time, said, “How can they expect him to be young? It takes time to have life experience.” He said, “I’ll call you back.” He did, and said, “The role is yours.”

Advertising and entertainment tends to be so youth-oriented — it’s all about the “demographic.” And here you come along and became this huge cultural icon and the coolest guy in the universe, and you’re an older guy. Do you see yourself as having shifted perceptions of what getting older can mean?

I hope so. There’s so much ageism at every level and area of our society. People have a false perception of what it means to age. It’s just like it is with wine: Things have to mature, have to develop, have to gain wisdom and have to have experience. It’s certainly more interesting.

What do you think of your senator, Bernie Sanders?

I am thrilled with Bernie Sanders. I absolutely champion him. I think he’s honest, his message is right on board and inspirational and I support him 100 percent.

Dos Equis are fucking idiots. Do you know how many companies would do whatever it takes to get a 3 fold increase in sales? How can you end something that has improved (and probably continues to improve) your bottom line.

Who in their right mind would do this?

I tip my hat to Jonathan Goldsmith. He's been acting since the 1960's. He has a long resume of roles here and there, going back to shows like Gunsmoke and Perry Mason. He didn't get his "big break" until the age of 58. He stuck with his dream and never gave up. No actor has persevered as long as he has. I'll miss him.

Maybe he wants to fuck off with his bankroll and do whatever he wants? I've seen that among the older crowd. Convenient time for both parties to cease their relationship.

Or, maybe Dos Equis are idiots. No idea, really.

Will not be drinking Dos Equis if they go with most interesting woman in the world lol.

For a mid-priced lager, XX does the job - sure it's not as good as what you can get from some hipster microbrewery (or even an import like Stella), but who wants to pay $55 for a case of beer? Miles better than Molson or Labatt pisswater.

Sales increased but then remained flat, I'd guess. Companies need ever increasing sales. To do so I'm guessing they'll reveal a "progressive" ad campaign to get the homos drinking the beer.
