The actor who was the most interesting man in the world writes about how he got there and became friends with Obama. But it's only half about Obama, even without his part it's just interesting to read about his own history and how he bluffed and blustered his way into that role.

"And the best time to go for broke is when you’re already there."

A damn good read. Maybe he's closer to the most interesting man in the world than he realizes.
