Phileas Fogg

Categories: Exploring, Fictional

Phileas Fogg is the fictional hero of Jules Verne's 'Around the World in Eighty Days'.  Without reading the novel we can't confirm the middle 'J'.

Inception run a chain of 'Fogg' themed establishments which uses plaques to Phileas J. Fogg in their branding. We have also found a Gertrude Fogg plaque.

This photograph shows David Niven as Phileas Fogg (with Mexican actor Cantinflas) in the 1956 film of the novel.
