Pat Rafter strips one last time for Bonds
Pat Rafter is back in undies
Bonds has launched new campaign featuring an awkward Pat Rafter stripped down to his undies.
The 60-second ad sees the former tennis champion under pressure from his agent to strip to his underwear one last time for the clothing brand.
“Nobody wants to see a 40-year old dad in their undies on TV”, says Rafter in the ad, which breaks today.
The agency behind the campaign was Banjo.
A press release from the agency reads: “Bonds and Banjo wrote a category-breaking spot that will engage the blokes of Australia through its honesty, humour and pure cheekiness. A script that finally convinced Pat to break his contract and do a last hoorah in his underwear.”

No one wants to see a 40 year old in their undies. Unless it’s Pat Rafter.

@kimberley why on earth he not minimise his tax as much as possible? Do you not claim any deductions? Good on him!

Hilarious.
Agreed @Nick Barlett!
If only people viewed female models posing in their underwear as just as funny and ludicrous.

Kimberly, do you have any more interesting articles that are post January 2002? Didn’t Pat move back to Australia before his daughter was born in 2005? I sure know he was playing local AFL with North Shore around that time.
