The name’s Bond...
A British man has become a local celebrity in Croatia because his surname is Bond. Gavin Bond, 38, a builder from London moved to the village of Mokrice looking for a change in his life and had no idea his name would bring him instant fame.
He has been invited to civic dinners and locals flock to visit the wooden hut he shares with two stray dogs. He said: “My first name isn’t even James but it makes no difference it seems. People didn’t believe me when I said my name was Bond, and when I showed them my passport they loved it.
“I have been invited to civic dinners and even had an offer to open a supermarket - just because my name is Bond. People come and visit me in my hut with my two dogs just to say: ‘Hello Mr Bond’.”
He added: “I don’t care if people compare me to the secret agent - why not - I make it clear that I am nothing to do with James Bond but they still want to treat me like a star.” ananova
