Jeremy Clarkson said that "it was all an act"
Jeremy Clarkson reveals that his curmudgeonly, grumbling character "was all an act" that helped propel his shows 'Top Gear' and 'The Grand Tour' to worldwide success https://t.co/rwYga8bwPt

- "Everyone assumes the character they see on motoring shows is me, but it’s exaggerated. To think that I was like I was on Top Gear is the same as thinking that Anthony Hopkins is a cannibal.";
- Clarkson told The Guardian his previous, famously dismissive, attitude to global farming should be seen in this light: "That was part of the caricature. It was a joke."
- He's got a show called Clarkson's Farm, which is the most popular on Amazon Prime UK and going to start on its fourth season (????).
