Žiga Was Once the Star of 'Love is on the Farm,' See How This Farmer Looks Today

Goran Žigo, a familiar face from the popular Croatian reality show 'Ljubav je na selu' (Love is on the Farm), has transitioned from a farmer seeking love to a memorable television personality.

Žigo first captured national attention with his authentic demeanor and distinctive mustache on the show. His on-screen romance with Nevenka Bekavac became a significant talking point, cementing his place in the show's history. Marijana Batinić, a presenter, described him as a "man of the old school," highlighting his unique wisdom despite a lack of formal education, calling him "one, only, and unrepeatable."

“

He is a man of the old school. He is uneducated, but very wise, as if he was born two centuries ago. All these years I haven't met anyone like him, he is one, only, and unrepeatable. There are no more such people.

Since his initial appearance, Žigo has subtly altered his look by shortening his signature mustache. He remains rooted in Lučani near Sinj, where he actively engages in agriculture, viticulture, and the production of traditional goods. His lifestyle embodies the enduring values of the Dalmatian hinterland, emphasizing homemade food production and the upkeep of his farm.

Žigo's television career extended to the 'Big Brother' house, where he made a memorable impression by bringing his own sheep into the show, sparking considerable media and public interest. He often presents himself as a romantic seeking a traditional woman with Christian values, famously stating he would win a woman over with his "songs, wine, and sausages." He frequently contrasts past and present times, particularly regarding relationships and marriage.

I played against everyone except England, whom I will face for the first time, so it will be special for that reason too. It's a World Cup semi-final against a great national team, you live for such matches. We've expended a lot, we're tired and it shows, but we've shown that we know how to suffer and draw on some reserves.
