Gloria María Milagrosa Fajardo García de Estefan – Gloria Estefan to you – was genuinely excited to be at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner (WHCA) at The Washington Hilton and genuinely excited to meet the TV stars at the Atlantic Media CBS reception.
We’re talking the Cuban-born American singer-songwriter, actress and entrepreneur who is a top 100 best selling music artist with an estimated 100 million records sold worldwide and has won seven Grammy Awards to boot. Yes, she was excited……..and of course Hollywood on the Potomac was excited to meet HER!

Moving right along, we noticed a throng of people gathering on the patio. .. we were bewildered ….. so we did what any self respecting reporter would do. …….. we googled. Turns out to be Jonathan Goldsmith:
“The Most Interesting Man in the World is a character in an advertising campaign for the Dos Equis brand of beer, produced by the marketing firm Euro RSCG for Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery. The ads feature Jonathan Goldsmith as “the world’s most interesting man” and are narrated by Frontline’s Will Lyman. Goldsmith has stated that his friend, actor Fernando Lamas, was an inspiration in creating the character. The advertisements first began appearing in the United States in 2006 and have since then become an Internet meme.” Wikipedia
Well then, OK. Here he is:
