Three people named James Bond talk about what it’s like to navigate life in the shadow of the most famous Secret Service agent in the world.
I consider James Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, a father figure Bond. James Bond. It’s an iconic catchphrase from one of the highest grossing film franchises in the world – not to mention acclaimed books, TV shows, comics and even radio broadcasts. But imagine hearing it almost every day whenever someone finds out what your full name is. That’s the reality for three men named James Bond who Metro spoke to on the back of film, The Other Fellow, that all three star in.
I didn’t really relate to the spy protagonist because I was a big nerd in school I was actually born in 1953, the same year Ian Fleming’s first James Bond book, Casino Royale, was published. I didn’t know it existed then though. Having my name wasn’t an issue until I was about 12 years old in junior high, which is when the first James Bond film, Dr No came to my town in Texas – two years after its initial release.
