Real-life James Bonds on curse of sharing spy’s name in Apple TV, Prime Video documentary



Three years after the release of the last James Bond movie, No Time to Die, and Daniel Craig’s farewell to the secret agent role, rumours about possible successors are swirling – British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the most recent hot candidate, but no one has been confirmed.

While fans of the spy franchise are beginning to lose patience with the wait, the hiatus is a welcome relief to the real world’s individuals named James Bond.

Yes, they exist, and for some, bearing 007’s name has proved a curse – as explored by a new documentary, Our Name Is Bond, now streaming on Apple TV and Prime Video.

“I had to filter through a lot of fake James Bonds to find the real ones,” says director Matthew Bauer. The Australian filmmaker scoured Facebook for people to reflect as diverse a Bond group as possible.

“There were all these articles saying the next [cinematic] James Bond is black and the James Bond is a woman and the next James Bond will be a homosexual. So it was important for us to have a [real-life] black James Bond because obviously they would tend to be different from most people’s image of James Bond.”
