Stay thirsty, my friends: Dos Equis pitchman says he's had affairs with two Republicans' wives



Jonathan Goldsmith — the actor who played “The Most Interesting Man in the World” in a years-long series of Dos Equis beer ads — claimed in an explosive essay for Politico that he has had adulterous affairs with the wives of two Republican congressmen.

Amid his boasts about shooting rounds of arrows at targets with former President Obama and the fascinating tale of his transformation from “a Jewish guy from the Bronx” into the Latin-accented lothario of his beer commercials, Goldstein made a list of his romantic conquests.

“I had a lovely dalliance with one of Groucho Marx’s wives,” he revealed. “And the wives of two congressmen (both Republican). I broke the bed of Henry Fonda’s mistress.”

"The most beautiful woman of them all? Tina Louise. She was Ginger, the stranded movie starlet on Gilligan’s Island, the object of millions of men’s fantasies. We’d met at the Actor’s Studio. She had such stamina I was afraid I would have a heart attack. "

Why Dos Equis Replaced ‘The Most Interesting Man in the World’

snip...

There’s a new “man” in town. Mexican beer brand Dos Equis has replaced its original “Most Interesting Man in the World,” long portrayed by actor Jonathan Goldsmith, with a fresh-faced Frenchman, Augustin Legrand (introduced in this teaser). After Goldsmith made his final appearance in a commercial that sent his character on a one-way mission to Mars, Legrand took up the campaign’s banner, with the new ads centering on the “Most Interesting Man” trope, but with a modern twist.

It was almost a given that somebody would eventually replace Goldsmith, but the move presented Dos Equis with another challenge altogether. With Goldsmith, 77, being swapped out for Legrand, 41, the beer brand was in the uncomfortable position of explaining away claims of ageism. Andrew Katz, the vp of marketing for Dos Equis put it this way: “The meaning of ‘interesting’ has evolved over the past decade, and this campaign features a new character and look and feel that opens the door to a world of interesting possibilities for today’s Dos Equis drinker.”

One paragraph he is referred to as Jonathan Goldsmith — the actor, in another one he is referred as Goldstein.

I'm confused!

You know, the new U.S. rep to the Vatican, and 3rd (or 4th?) wife of serial adulterer Newt Gingrich. Gawd, that would be sweet.

How he was the surprise guest for a President Obama at camp David. That is a fun story. His people worked hard to have some lightness in his life. Good for everyone.

Republicans love to hang a spouse's infidelity on democratic candidates or office holders, but we are better than them, we need to stay out of that swamp.
