Laguna Beach Fogey said...: Anon @ 19:34 ~ Possibly. The likely inspiration for more recent versions to be sure. The current 'World's Most Interesting Man' featured in the televisual and radio advertisements for Mexican lager lives on a 42' yacht in Marina del Ray in Los Angeles. But I can't say much more than that.; 03 August, 2011 19:51

Anonymous said...: LBF I remember reading somewhere that the Commander and Ogilvy were inspirations for the current most interesting man. I must also apologize for continually posting as Anon. Cheers,
