John Wayne Shot "the Most Interesting Man in The World" In The Shootist!
How could I not spot this Dos Equis most interesting guy as a baddie in so many westerns and other shows. Clint Eastwood killed him in Hang Em' High, and John Wayne shot him in the head in The Shootist when he tried to shoot John Books in his hotel bed. Maybe the faux latin accent sent me off course. Here he is. Jonathan Goldsmith. He went by another name, too.

My favorite of the claims for the Most Interesting Man is that he bowls overhand.
Mr. Goldsmith must be making serious money these days!

His middle name is Sipowicz, but nobody ever asks him if he's the guy from the TV show.

The all time best one is when the ask him about "bromance." He looks at the camera and says, "I have no idea what that means." It makes me laugh just to think of that commercial!

Hey I got to like the darn commercials I bought the darn beer...Stay thirsty my friends it isn't that much better than Corona which isn't a premium beer in Mexico.;..;.; But he has really done a good job with that part...It's the accent. Hey for a guy 70 years old he is doing just fine.....I think it is on Ask.com he is interviewed. No accent at all..Darn!

Actually:
"Contrary to popular belief, John Wayne did not have cancer when he made this film. His entire left lung and several ribs had been removed in surgery on 16 September 1964, and in 1969 he was declared cancer free. It was not until 12 January 1979, almost three years after this movie had been filmed, that the disease was found to have returned. "
