The Del Monte Man disappeared at the age of 91. In the 1980s Brian Jackson – this is his real name – went around the plantations in a white suit and panama suit, giving his very personal ok to the exotic fruits that would later become drinks and juices for the agri-food company, of which he was became the testimonial. L’Uomo Del Monte said s was the claim of the more than 25 commercials, broadcast in 34 countries, that the British actor shot, saying s in 29 different languages.
Passionate about swimming, diving and cricket, as well as an accomplished boxer, Jackson was born in Bolton in 1931 and before hitting the stage he had been a photographer for the United Kingdom Navy. After joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford Upon Avon, he began producing plays throughout London, performing alongside legends such as Roger Moore and Ginger Rodgers, while on the big screen appeared in numerous films, including including The Return of the Pink Panther, The Avengers and The Heroes of Telemark.
During his long career Jackson has also lent the voice to several documentaries, commercials and movie trailers, although the real popularity came precisely with Del Monte, who hired him exclusively for his famous commercials. Those commercials, for which I am very grateful, paid for where we lived and my education – said the youngest daughter Jo al Sun -. And with the advertising money my father had also bought a yellow Jaguar, because it reminded him of bananas. He was very funny, he told really amazing anecdotes and was an actor until the last moment of his life. As the tabloid reports, Jackson passed away at his West London home on July 2 after a long battle with prostate cancer.
