Why letting the camera in worked for Richard Hammond | Performance People

Спорт

Richard Hammond + Izzy Hammond. TV Presenter + Graduate. Father + Daughter.
Richard Hammond has been a partner in British TV’s most successful and at times controversial presentation team for more than 20 years. Alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May he’s shaped how we think about our cars and their place in our lives. Along with, The Grand Tour, he’s now got his own reality TV show, running a car restoration business.
Joining Richard is his daughter, Izzy. Recently graduated from university, Izzy is an ensemble cast member on the show and is busy working out whether to follow dad, full time, into the TV business.
Together, they work through the parenting compromises that Richard was forced to make as a young journalist, why good luck must be paid back to the cosmos with hard graft and whether the world is ready for a Clarkson/Hammond/May hybrid.
The new series of Richard Hammond's Workshop, is available to stream on discovery+.
This four way conversation was recorded on 11th September 2023.

    I'm not big on meeting famous people as I really don't care that they are famous, they have a job they're paid to do, and they do it... *HOWEVER* , I would love to sit and have a conversation over a beer with Hammond. He seems genuine and kind.

    I had the pleasure of recently meeting and briefly chatting to Richard at an event at the smallest cog. He was a fairly quiet, unassuming guy. He was interested in the cars we had brought and chatted about them like any car fan. But when it came to him picking up a megaphone to speak on camera for the Drivetribe video being made that day, he turned in to Richard Hammond off the TV.

    We have watched the trio for ever. We have met the dudes as well. To hear Richard say that about himself , really does tell you he is a genuine as they get. Especially being a part of the Trio team that was , then was again, and will always be one of the best TV shows to have ever been on tv. Top Gear then The Grand Tour Even now, Richard's shows are in a class of there own. There will never be another team like Richard, May and the Orangutan.

Richard deserves everything he’s done and has, he doesn’t boast about anything he has achieved or brought… Top Man. You always made me laugh through Top Gear. Hey Richard, don’t pressure yourself, sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself and miss out on certain things, that are extremely important to you, and you own that. However Richard, there’s many fathers that haven’t done 10% of what you have and do. Anyone can see that you absolutely adore your family, and I absolutely love the connection you have with your girls, and lovely wife.. Wish you all the best for the future. Failure is not in your vocabulary.. Stay Blessed ❤️✌🏼

    Some years ago a former TG insider posted on Reddit about their work and mentioned that Richard had actually become a better person, easier to work with after the accident. Apparently he was an arrogant little tit before life gave him a big lesson in perspective and priorities. Aside from some minor short term memory lapses and a previously undiscovered liking for celery, it hasn't done any damage per se, which is pretty remarkable for a 288mph frontal cranial impact...

    I think cars have their own personality Because you see wood and metal take on the personality and creativity of it's maker who is taking his passion and building a car that only he or she could see in his or her mind. Then transferring that to paper then to the metal and becoming a work of art that we not only can appreciate, but use daily to drive around and perform our own version of creative life.

    She has grown up with a dad that has done the graft in the media business, firstly as a presenter on radio, then hit it off with Top Gear, and now Grand Tour, plus the various videos on KZread and the other businesses. So yes if She gets into the media using her father’s name , it just the foot in the door, and everything else is up to her . Yes they are so correct, do something you enjoy to put things in perspective or just to clear your mind. For me it is riding my bicycle, I do it for about 2 hours and in that time nothing else matters.

    Smart/wise to take the opportunities to help you along in life. IF you can. Some people have the opportunities and reject them and struggle and some make it on their own, some don't. And they find personal pride in what they do or don't do on their own. And they put they nose up in the air about those that accept the opportunities that come their way. I respect both walks of life fine and dandy. I don't find it fine and dandy for those that work extra hard and or make it extra hard on themselves to put down those that seem to have it easier. Because those people most certainly as Richard has said, work just as hard to prove to themselves and everyone else, look, I got the chance, I am making it happen with hard work! I am not a sheltered rich brat that sip tea all day and goes out for drives in a posh car to break up the boredom. It's hard work! And we don't take it for granted. So, Izzy is very wise to accept the opportunities that present themselves. Richards work ethics are an excellent role model for her. (and everyone) Much respect for that segment.

It all balanced out to that's what cars are for, to get you out of trouble, to provide a solution to the mess you've found yourself in. Whether Amazon, Chillian< bolivian highlands, Amazonian sweatfest or African safarilands, or maybe it was cold and an adorable speed queen had a nice ass, mini's with rockets, cutting edge "cocking about" and sulphurous rich feminist gas pedal to the floor tighten your ring Neubourg stints.

    Women can never truly understand the sacrifices men make for them. They will make him feel guilty for not being at home even though he provided millions of dollars for his family, a wonderful home and opportunities that many people can only dream of. Of course he'd rather be with his kids for special occasions, but he also wants his kids to be able to eat. Women initiate divorce 80% of the time, but if the husband makes a lot of money, the rate drops MASSIVELY! He knows that if he doesn't provide, he could be divorced and without his kids entirely. Plus he was able to effectively retire early, and be more available.
