Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that his views towards climate change were part of a “caricature” he portrays on screen.His famously grumpy character can be seen on hit motoring shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour, which propelled him to fame and helped him secure columns in various national newspapers.Speaking to The Guardian ahead of the release of the third season of Clarkson’s Farm, coming to Amazon Prime Video on May 3, Clarkson shared how he acted as an “exaggerated” version of himself on television.“Everyone assumes the character they see on motoring shows is me, but it’s exaggerated,” he shared. “To think that I was like I was on Top Gear is the same as thinking that Anthony Hopkins is a cannibal,” referring to the actor’s acclaimed role as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence Of The Lambs.He also spoke about previous dismissive comments he has made about global warming, now suggesting that they weren’t necessarily serious.“That was part of the caricature,” he shared.
