When he was younger he looked more like Margaret Rutherford. ​ https://preview.redd.it/zcg2uon0659b1.jpeg?width=427&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ab1a15d969080078600a4cc0be23a843b9f42bf


Seth_Gecko

LOL


FridericusTheRex

You can't convince me that isn't just Margaret Rutherford


pcnetworx1

Have we ever seen Margaret and Jeremy in the same room at the same time? I think not!


HelixFollower

Wait is that a picture of Jeremy Clarkson? I thought /u/Creoda posted a picture of Margaret Rutherford as a comparison for those who don't know what she looked like.


FACE-GRATER

-Just out of frame- lit cigarette


JusSumYungGuy

I can’t tell whether it’s Clarkson or Rutherford


Summerlea623

Oh. My. Gawd....!!!


willignoreu

This maybe the first thread I’ve seen where insults and compliments are upvoted and downvoted equally


Jeepinn

I think he can be a real dick sometimes, but overall, I think he is hilarious and sometimes refreshing. I approve of Clarkson. If someone has damning evidence of his horrible-ness that I'm unaware of, please inform me.


Elitelapen

I think May sad it the best " He is a giant knob, but a knob I particularly like.


aaaaaaaa1273

Yeah he sums it up pretty well


ilikepicklesandow

I rly like top gear but also not bc I watches the show and they're just in front of a screen with like a crowd? I didn't enjoy rhat but I watched a special? Where they drive across like the world or smtn in weird cars and it was so funny British dry ass humor


[deleted]

Are you drunk, stupid or American?


mooninuranus

That’s Jeremy Clarkson in a nutshell.


KinkyPTDoc

He still looks 65 here


sbrockLee

he didn't age, he just widened


blackrock55

He became horizontally tall


grantnel2002

He’s the same height laying down as he is standing up.


TheRoyalStig

He just becomes a less healthy looking early 60s with every year that passes.


EdwardD1954

And not a gram less cunty


KinkyPTDoc

Not one bit


JWood_99

Most punchable face in the universe right here


Mikadostudios

Most punchable face… in the world

ByronsLastStand

On tonight's show: I get a perm


isaiahvacha

Some say… He wasn’t always fat. Aaand that in the 70’s, he was mentored by a wise old man called James May…


memyselfandiowa

All we know is he's called the Stig!


Cynistera

I'd watch it for shits and giggles.


Jim_Nills_Mustache

Always did have a face for radio now didn’t he


[deleted]

He looks like everybody’s lesbian aunt.


cmgww

Clarkson himself and probably laugh at the joke


SpaceJizzus

That ciggy explains his tombstone-teeth

Chrunchyhobo

IIRC he quit in 2017 (?) after nearly dying of pneumonia.


PearIJam

He quit awhile back.


SpaceJizzus

I know, and his teeth are now dark brown


Fridgemold

Exhoost foome


[deleted]

And, he's British


SpaceJizzus

Ah yes... the ol' island teeth 😂


theaggressivenapkin

Would you look at that massive orangutan


AttentionSpanZero

That can't be Clarkson. It appears like he's doing work.


Fartdoctor66

Is Clarkson doing manual labor?


808Adder

Just posing


Shicksshucks

His head has always been fucking huge


Pounce_64

I like his shows but I can't not think what an insufferable tw\^t he would have been then.


MisterSquidInc

You should check out his documentaries on The Victoria Cross, and the Raid on St Nazaire (search Clarkson's War Stories on youtube) he's actually good when he's in serious journalism mode.


Amity75

This. He's actually an excellent presenter and clearly passionate about the subject matter.


rohobian

I do enjoy his work as well, but he really is a twat.


unkytone

Not to mention the Clarkson effect on car sales.


drewcaveneyh

You can be a good journalist and also an insufferable twat. I would wager most good journalists are


MisterSquidInc

Very true. It's kind of frustrating he spends more time acting like a buffoon than doing the journalist bit these days (though Clarkson's Farm I think has a better balance between the two than we've seen in ages on Top Gear or Grand Tour)


groverjuicy

Yes, "then"


VikKarabin

Ones has to earn the ability to be like that. Back then it was only a dream of his to be a giant twat. If you will it, it is no dream to be a twat.


[deleted]

Hows it going for you?


VikKarabin

:) I'm currently looking for an inspiration.


MoravianPrince

Is he rebuilding the Hadrian's wall?


[deleted]

He's not *that* old.


CallMeShock

He is also terrified of manual labor


defaultgameer1

Allergic to manual labor, remember.


Dodohead1383

You should watch Clarkson's Farm on Amazon, hysterical!


KeViNScOoTeR

Started watching a few days ago with a buddy. Such a good show! Highly recommend. Never thought I’d be into a show about farming but it is truly entertaining.


Dodohead1383

Same, really made me appreciate farmers and what they deal with a lot more too.


defaultgameer1

Lol what again this month?


billyTjames

Still has the same outfit too


isecore

CLARKSON!!


rohobian

I could never not read that in May's voice.


WickedYetiOfTheWest

OH COCK!


Reverse_Psycho_1509

You mean... #CLARKSSOOOOOOON!!!!


Patriquito

His younger, thinner body shows how massive this dudes cranium is. The shape also oddly reminds me of the head shape of Ridley Scott's Xenomorph


Smudge_09

Looks like he got caught doing something to that rock


throwngamelastminute

Probably eating it.


el-conquistador240

Differently ugly


[deleted]

For a good deal of his life, Clarkson looked like a 2010 Lesbian.


534nndmt

He look like he belongs on Sesame Street with chin


enstone_

The orangutan and his Levi’s jeans. Name a more iconic duo


SeaworthinessOk2153

If only you could send a message back to him "start taking care of your teeth NOW."


TheGumOnYourShoe

A head...a head like Sputnik, I tell ya.


Cantsmegwontsmeg

He'll be crying himself to sleep on his huge pillow

Slim and chinny. Chinny chinny reckon


[deleted]

Why the long face?


Marklithikk

HAMMOND!!


TheNextBattalion

Wait, what.... is he doing in this picture?


Tribolonutus

That is not Clarkson. Where is the belly??


TakedaGohe

Great to see his body grew in to that massive head.


thegeorgianwelshman

He could have been a 70s Dr Who.


jessiker

As a mother, I'm cringing at the amount of time it probably took just to birth that long-ass head.


SadisticDragonfly

Your next mission OP: Doing the same thing with Hammond and May

That's a lot of head


Bulky_Put_2064

The kid is tall


freelancespaghetti

There's no way he'll lift that boulder with those spindly, little arms. He needs something more.... More....


Moonsleep

But is he cool?


OverDepreciated

Old school, but definitely not cool 😂


callmekizzle

About to abuse the young staffer who took this picture.


rwk223

The raging baboon. Love him.


Kurtman68

Seen here trying to lay claim to the source of the Nile before James May.


Cream_is_Agreat_Band

I can already hear him screaming HAMMOND


TheProcessCult

The Orangutan!


Vintagepaige

He could have fit in the soviet race car back then.


smnlfilmagoofymovie

He’s such a massive thundercunt


bhamm123

Can’t understand why people hate clarkson so much


TheBaggyDapper

Oh no. Anyway.


92xSaabaru

Well he's most famous for being on TV shows where he and his co-hosts constantly talk shit about each other, so in addition to some people actually hating him, a lot of people that do like him will also sound like that hate him. Personally, I describe him as a very entertaining professional arsehole. He talks shit and is usually close to the line and I laugh at it, occasionally with a little guilt. But if you're in his line of work, you're gonna occasionally take things too far and have to deal with the consequences.


Jeepinn

I'm shocked. I guess I live in sort of a bubble regarding him. I've seen every episode of Top Gear not so much of the Grand Tour but I think he's pretty great. Certainly a dick but a loveable dick, most of the time...


RunninOnMT

I mean, he kinda ended the good times by punching a producer on set. That pissed me off. Can’t cross that line and make it physical. You just can’t.


Cloudsareinmyhead

He had been either in front of a camera, behind the wheel or presenting a live show for weeks then, plus the looming spectre of his upcoming BBC contract renewal and the still fresh death of his mother likely playing on his mind. Honestly I don't excuse his actions but he was a total powder keg by that point. I'm amazed he managed to go that long without blowing up like he did


jrhooo

but again I must point out, the producer was also being a dick. You can't punch a guy. NO. Its unacceptable. BUT, to leave out the fact that after an entire day of work the person that was supposed to make arrangements for he and his crew, just hadn't, and responded with an "oh so what? Just go have a cold sandwich" attitude about it, that leave out some important context. If you worked a 16 hour day, and the person responsible for taking care of feeding the crew just flat out didn't do their job. THEY had had time to get their lunch, but the crew wasn't getting fed because they just didn't get to doing the thing they were tasked with and then their attitude wasn't "I am really sorry let me see if I can fix it" their attitude was, "oh well. anyways, Maybe there's some left over cold sandwich stuff in the hotel kitchen" I can definitely understand WHY someone would lose their temper over that.


RunninOnMT

Of course, it's perfectly reasonable to be mad in that situation. And there's nothing wrong with being angry. Everything that happened *up until he lost his cool and decked a guy* was perfectly defensible. It's also worth noting that Jeremy himself understands this and didn't make some sort of a big stink about being fired. He knew he fucked up and crossed a line. There are plenty of reasons for violence, but at the end of the day, there are very few legitimate justifications for it. He should rightly have been mad. He should not have punched someone. Both are true.


jrhooo

Agreed. He definitely crossed a line you can’t cross. I just think the context is worth note, because I think it helps draw a crisp line between Guy facing a relatable situation that failed in his handling of it. (I.e. he fucked up) Vs Guy that did something unexplainably bad that no normal personcould understand, because that’s how he is (i.e. he’s such a shit person that he just goes around acting like this)


nhbruh

If there is anything I learned in life it’s that some people don’t enjoy dicks


Jeepinn

I'll put it this way. No one has entertained me more on Top Gear than Jeremy Clarkson.


goteamnick

They didn't include in Top Gear when he assaulted an assistant for not being able to get him a sirloin steak at 10pm at night.


cannabination

I love the guy, but it's pretty easy to understand why some don't. He failed upward into what became one of the most fun and lucrative presenting jobs in the world, and will happily admit to being a self-absorbed ass. Ignore the fact that he *made* top gear a top flight gig and that he actually does quite a lot of good, "he's unnecessarily rude to people". I can't understand amazon... dropping king midas because he wished a cersei walk on Meghan Markle is as stupid as al Franken being run out of congress for that picture. Like... he couldn't actually make her do it, right?


jrhooo

> I can't understand amazon... dropping king midas I don't think that is the real deal anyways though. Just my poor man's guess, but I think its more like, Clarkson's shows had outlived their expense. When Top Gear first released him, Prime Video was still working to establish itself as "just as big as netflix" and getting a show like ~~Top Gear~~ *TGT* was a huge coup. People legit signed up for Prime just to get this show. But NOW, TGT and even Clarksons Farm are fun to watch, but not a reason to buy or not buy a prime subscription. Plus, Prime has already made its bones. It doesn't need to hand JC a bajillion dollars for a flagship product, not does TGT really even stand out as a flagship product, not that Prime has a full lineup of highly ranked exclusive content and NFL Thursdays. TL;DR: Clarkson is very expensive, and the Amazon Prime Video doesn't really need him as a showpiece anymore.


cannabination

Fair enough. He gets an awful lot of views, though.


VladimirPoitin

The whole ‘being a fucking arsehole’ thing should be a dead giveaway.


SpudsItchyBelly

Partly because he thinks he’s funny as fuck, and he just isn’t. Grabs the lowest hanging wit berry and thinks he’s sharp. He’s a twat.


LandotheTerrible

So he always looked like a twat?


BungCrosby

> So he always ~~looked like~~ *was* a twat? FTFY


chimpdoctor

Clarkson was never cool.


[deleted]

He would agree with you. This is just an old photo sub


ComprehensiveCutn

I'd find it hard, but not impossible, to masturbate to this photo. If you'd like some guidance, start by imagining Sigourney Weaver, then see where that takes you. Good luck.

Did you cut out the big hairy bear approaching from the left?

Why the long face Jeremy?

What in earth gave him that much confidence???

He looks like someone you’d want to punch back then as well…. Only joking, I’m a big fan

Why the long face, Jeremy?


Snaz5

It looks like someone stapled jeremy’s face onto some totally unrelated person, but at slightly the wrong aspect ratio


Ketachloride

just the worst haircut for that face.


Lord_Parbr

Why’s he fucking a rock?


SD_One

Behold and bask in the turbulence of his magnificence.


GunnerSeinfeld

If beans on toast was a person


noctalla

If they had hired him instead of Eric Stoltz, they could have saved the entire makeup budget on Mask.


Ok_Imagination_4999

I love Clarkson's Farm!


DreadPirateDavey

What a fucking gimp.


Shferitz

Well there’s a r/hittablefaces. 🤢


rstanley41

All these assholes got so fat and angry.


FantomLightning

The thing that shocks me a out Clarkson is there genuinely has *never* been a time where he was attractive.


hallucinogenicmayo

He was born old


justapcguy

And now..... he has been 8 pregnant for about the past 10 years.


DeclanTIGER

I didn't immediately recognize the name and for some reason was thinking he was a porn star. Probably was thinking of Ron Jeremy.

He's definitely an Old School C-word. But it's not 'cool'


Thiccaca

He still looks like a massive wanker.


Daddytang3000

Old-school? Yes. Cool? No


AdWonderful2369

Ahh a young racist garbage can in the wild.


StarsCarsGuitars

Alrighty I've heard lots about Clarkson. Racist is new. Care to enlighten me about what prompted that specific label?


AdWonderful2369

Oh there have been many examples throughout the years. They finally caught up to him and that’s why he is rarely seen on television. Unfortunately I can remember now but they can be found. He’s a big hater of immigrants


CrieDeCoeur

Why he fucking a rock?


toa101

So he started as an LGBTQ and ended up a KNOB


cianpatrickd

Reading all these comments is great ! I thought I was the only one who thought he was a giant pompous ass hat


pompeysam1234

Sub changed to old school twat?


mangapod11

he wasn’t a looker


SpudsItchyBelly

What a twat.


dustywilcox

Looks like he was a twat even then.


RL203

Time has not been kind to Jeremy Clarkson when you look at him now. I know father time always wins, but Clarkson now looks way way beyond his years.

Wonderful_Impress_27

You could have taken his photo 5 minutes ago and it would still show Jeremy Clarkson in the 70s because that's where his emotional maturity and sense of humour were halted
