Who is the Most Interesting Man in the World?

In your office, home and at your local hangout, who is the most interesting person?

If you choose yourself for that title (eye-roll) you're not alone.

But, do you know who the "Most Interesting Man in the World" is? It's not that old guy with the shaggy face that is surrounded by beautiful women. That is so last year and he's been replaced.

Dos Equis unveiled the new No. 1 just two months ago. He's played by Augustin Legrand, a trilingual French actor, more than 30 years younger than Jonathan Goldsmith.

According to IMDB, Legrand was born in 1975 in Neuville-aux-Bois, Loiret, France. He is an actor and director, known for 13 Tzameti (2005), Flyboys (2006) and Crimson Rivers 2: Angels of the Apocalypse (2004).

You've probably seen the new ad campaign on TV.

The first number 1, Jonathan Goldsmith, was dropped earlier this year, as the beer company moved to moved forward and gave new life to the campaign. And Goldsmith has now released a book.

Why did they replace him? You just need to think about the longevity of James Bond and keeping up with the younger audiences.
