The pop culture icon made famous for his Dos Equis commercials has picked up the gig with Astral Tequila last year, but the new commercials show he’s the same old Jonathan Goldsmith.

In the new commercials, Goldsmith plays a similarly accomplished character who “bends spoons with his mind, holds his breath for an hours, receives a signed copy of the Bible and becomes the namesake of the sun,” a press release revealed.

The “This Calls for Tequila” campaign was created by Eric Kallman, the man behind the strangely hypotonic Old Spice advertisements.
