The actor Jonathan Goldsmith, known popularly as The Most Interesting Man In The World (from those hilarious Dos Equis commercials), went to Boston University.

The Most Interesting Man In The World went to BU.

He said so in Rich Eisen’s NFL podcast on Wednesday. (The interview with Goldsmith starts about 26 minutes in.)

Apparently Goldsmith didn’t become an “overnight success” until after his 50-year career in film and television, where he starred in films opposite John Wayne and Burt Lancaster.

Goldsmith said he even worked with Leslie Nielsen, the “Airplane!” star who died Sunday at 84. He described Nielsen as a “charming, relaxed, no-diva, regular guy.”

Goldsmith said he is about to start shooting the fifth year(!) of the beer ads.
