Sometimes of Top Gear and The Grand Tour (although I’ve not watched all of them but anyway) it was hilarious how far he would actually go to avoid working. Like sometimes he’d put more effort into avoiding something that would’ve been rather trivial.
What’s the one time he dragged a log behind his Mercedes in Africa for some reason or another and then it ofc eventually tangled, bounced and hit him square in the back glass.
Oh right, it was his “handbrake.”
Like honestly fixing the handbreak prolly would’ve been less work at least in general. AT least for the crew, accounting for the broken window and cleaning and whatnot.
Oh wait, he actually says himself “stupidest idea in history.” I guess that’s the part I like. He does stupid shit confidently, announcing it’s brilliant, but when it inevitably goes wrong, he can laugh at himself and admit he was actually wrong. And yet go to the next stupid idea and do that with the same confidence as earlier. I find it amusing.
He’s very likable, at least on that show, which is the first time I’ve really watched him. He’s far from a mere host, he really digs in and works.
