'Most Interesting Man in the World' Helps Make-a-Wish
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — The former "Most Interesting Man in the World" who appeared in Dos Equis beer commercials for nine years is lending his gravelly voice and bearded face to a Vermont cause: Make-a-Wish Foundation Vermont.
Jonathan Goldsmith will star in public service announcements for the organization, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
The Mexican beer brand recently dropped the 77-year-old, New York-born actor and says a younger "Most Interesting Man in the World" will appear in commercials later this year.
Goldsmith, who lives in southern Vermont, has worked on a number of charitable causes throughout his career.
Make-A-Wish Vermont wants to spread the word that it helps not just children with terminal conditions but also those with life-threatening conditions where a wish can help in the healing process.
