Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star of "Clarkson's Farm," has candidly revealed he was quite difficult during his tumultuous teenage years, partly due to his parents' divorce.
The 26-year-old has since become an integral part of Jeremy Clarkson’s operation at Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.Despite rising to fame on the Amazon Prime hit series, life wasn't always rosy for Farmer Kaleb.
