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

[@knowledgeispowermediaprodu7094]

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.

[@jonesy19691]

They put their pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us!

[@joseanl]

aaah, he almost cried when Izzy recalled being a little girl and talking on the phone with him. It must be a huge sacrifice to work in that way

[@appletiser_gaming4013]

Interviews like this makes me forget all the conflict in the world. Thank you Ben & Georgie

[@nelulautaru]

Is just absolutely incredible, Richard is so genuine and authentic, whenever is asked a question he keeps going and explaining beautiful and deep insights, he is such amazing role model and humble man.

[@danieltoon6750]

I very much enjoyed that interview with Richard and Izzy Hammond the father and daughter bond they have is so great 😀 Izzy is a breath of fresh air she is so lovely I wish her the best of luck for her future career ❤️❤️❤️

[@cwwcww7465]

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.

Sir Jeremy is much more important than the boring sod that cant drive fast. Give him the respect he deserves.

I’d love to meet Richard, he’s what I call a class act. So likeable.. Lol Izzy sold you down the river.. 😂 No seriously I can feel how much his family means to him.. 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 ❤️✌🏼

[@Peter-or8oc]

I can whole heartedly 100% say that I bonded with my son from birth through top gear as soon as he was home from hospital after being born he was religiously sat on my knee every week to watch top gear by the time he was four he could walk down the street holding my hand and name all the cars on the street and I'm being serious about that we had so many good times watching top gear so I have the lads to thank for that so thank you Richard , Jeremy and James :-) :-)

[@ljw5768]

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.

[@gnws6]

I've heard that he's actually pretty introverted, at least to strangers. He and may are similar in that way, which is probably wy Jeremy was always, or usually, the one always interacting with the audience of TG/TGT. He's more of an extrovert, and can start up a conversation with anyone.

[@slavestudios47]

Izzy & The Hamster so wholesome i could burst. great way to spend 41 minutes 😁

[@johnnybob1972]

Great interview..... Gravy and ketchup?.....are you kidding me????😂😂😂

Ooo.. the show needs to get outside of UK. Europe is starving. Been waiting for smallest cog for ages now. Really great to see the family duo on screen together :)

[@lupuscutis]

I just keep on loving Izzy. If she doesn't make/get a presenter career, I'm disappointed. Her attitude, capability to perform and (watch Drivetribe) natural skills of driving cars? We need the next generation. EDIT: we needed TG to get all three to present their own. Their personal shows are better that TG/TGT.

[@jezzter4293]

Thank you, Izzy is fantastic! You have an awesome Dad & I'm so happy for you. I'm also sure you will make your career from your own talent. You are really good, go for it

[@jezzter4293]

Georgie is amazing, Ben is an Olympic champion Wow mate, how cool?

I sold my 3.0 ltr twin turbo Jaguar to get my dog. Yes I really did. Sargent is the love of my life I hope I can rent, buy, steal a car to visit you lot in Hereford if you'd allow it. Sarge will totally love you A 2 year old Dally that supports his daddy so much & puts up with my car love. 17 yrs in F1 .... and I gave it all up for a Dalmatian 🙂 That was Major, when I lost him it was horrible. A kind friend helped me get Sarge but I had to sell my XF to get him, and I have no regrets. & I so want to introduce him to Richard & Izzy. Thank you for the smiles. Great people, thank you

[@dominickthornburghakaTRG]

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.

[@dejanzelko8361]

I can relate to this two. Me and my 15 year old daughter are both a huge petrolheads and we love spending time together in the garage working on my bikes and cars. Im like having a boy not a girl 😊

[@Peter-or8oc]

You saw genuine sorrow in Richards face when the presenter asked izzy was your always joining in at school and with other activities with friends and Richard sat back and shuck his head no and you could literally feel his pain because he's missed so much of his daughters early years but he can be proud that he's worked his socks off and provided his daughters with opportunities most people only dream off and afforded them with the chance to do what they actually want to do where as most people do jobs they hate and lives lived from one paycheck to the next so they have been spared that life by their dad's hard work and you can see he genuinely loves his daughters to bits so well done Richard

The jet car may have caused brain damage, but Richard is still scarily intelligent. That doesn't always come across in the t.v work. Amazing chap.

[@soulcornflake1]

In a commentary for the Vietnam special, Andy Wilman mentioned the books in his travel bag. He said they usually had a penguin on them, which implied a level of high intelligence.

@@soulcornflake1 penguin did all the classics. It was a cheap way of discovering Dickens etc when I was only getting 50p pocket money. My favourites were the Ladybird series of books. The artwork was fantastic.

[@sandgroper1970]

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 KZbin 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.

[@agneswatson9592]

So true, getting a chance through some kind of contact puts on extra pressure to do even better to prove your worth. My son recently got the chance to do something in the field he loves. Thought it might be a once off as he was pointed in the right direction. However now working on his own merits.

[@julianlora_]

Izzy: Here chicken! Chicken: Woof! woof!

[@WW-wf8tu]

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.

[@mikebull1972]

This was a nice interview, but Hammond wants to think about how he and his family are portraying themselves in the 'Workshop' series- 'Millionaire Daddy, I NEED a car and I want it NOW!!!' Strop, strop, flounce. They are clearly better people than that.

[@jujitsujew23]

So many people have said and continue to say that his workshop is “not a real business” or “it’s just for TV” and I just don’t get it. It’s a real business and if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be worth filming. He’s put so much into it that it wouldn’t make sense for it not to be a real business

[@DC42087]

She would get it

[@jagvette1]

Richard, not that you will read THIS, because YOU WERE AWAY SO MUCH AS YOU PUT IT, THAT allowed YOUR FAMILY TO HAVE THE LIFE THEY HAVE AND THE EXPENSIVE EDUCATION THEY GOT AND ALL THE PERKS SUCH AS AN AMAZING HOME AND MATERIAL THINGS, SUCH AS ANY CAR DADDY WOULD ALLOW THEM TO HAVE. they SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.

I have watched every episode of Richard Hammond’s Workshop and I have seen nothing of “performance” about his daughters. All of them are spoilt whiners. Demanding a new this and that. The show is great, the issue with series three is Discovery+ who have ruined it with adverts every seven minutes and it’s a paid platform. Ruining the programme entirely.

[@CaydeSmax]

Yet in the workshop show, he still does dumb stunts/ skits and fakes drama.

[@biggerminds523]

I really liked Top gear.. but this is just desperation for attention and peoples money. True narcissistic bahavior

[@mediocreman2]

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.
