He Is The Most Interesting Bruin In The World

Bumped. Seems like the perfect thread to take us into this weekend. GO BRUINS. -N

Mostinterestingbruin_medium

"He is the most interesting Bruin in the world"

He once caused Reggie Bush to fumble simply by looking at him.

He is the reason Pete Carroll moved to Seattle

All of UCLA's NCAA Championships were the direct result of his presence.

Star-divide

He is singlehandedly remodeling Pauley Pavilion using hand tools.

He first visited campus in 1950 and was immediately awarded a PhD.

His stare has been known to cause cheerleaders to swoon.

He once clapped his hands to get a bartender's attention and invented the "8-count".

"I may not always watch college athletics, but when I do, I prefer the Bruins." 

OK, guys...feel free to add as many as you can.

"Stay Bruins my friends."

I thought I would find out more

According to the most unimpeachable source there is, aka Wikipedia, the most interesting man is sometimes confused with an actor named Jonathan Goldsmith nee Jonathan Lippe. Like the most interesting man in the world, his doppelganger does not watch TV, he appears on TV – he’s been in lots of things.

I thought the most interesting quote from Jonathan Goldsmith elevated him toward most interesting man status: “Goldsmith supports the S.A.B.R.E Foundation whose mission is to protect and preserve the Siberian Tiger and has had the opportunity to feed a Siberian Tiger by hand.”

“I don’t always eat raw meat,” he says to the tigers, “but when I do, I prefer the wildebeest.” Then he adds, “Yes, my friends, stay hungry.” (And at the bottom of the screen it says “Always eat responsibly.”"

Love it!

I saw him interviewed on a Dodgers broadcast a few weeks ago. Goldsmith was going to throw out the first pitch. He has been an actor for over 30 years and sounds nothing like his Dos Equis character. In fact, he sounds a lot like my relatives from NYC :)

And he said, "No."
