The Daredevil 1,193 Posted July 10, 2023 Shares update for fans concerned about his health after having MRI Scan of head This one deserves a thread of his own, having been plagued with health issues for years, and would not like to be sharing Hammond's thread. Clarkson battled pneumonia in 2017 (which he nearly died from), suffered from two serious bouts of COVID in recent years, and previously feared he would go at 61 like so many others. There is bound to be a lot more news to put here in the years to come. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsewipe 202 Posted July 12, 2023 Why 61? Is it a bit like the "27 club" but for 61 year olds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,215 Posted May 5 Clarkson's Farm 'star' Gerald Cooper has been diagnosed with cancer. Sorry for the link, it's from GB News. It was either that or the Daily Express, neither satisfactory... https://www.gbnews.com/celebrity/clarksons-farm-gerald-cooper-cancer-jeremy-clarkson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it's all in the past and he's all good now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sod's Law 468 Posted October 20 Every other week, I seem to get a 'Jeremy Clarkson health scare' story in my Google newsfeed from some local rag like 'Gloucestershire Live'. At least now it's posted here, I know it's legit. He has also looked 10 years older than his true age for as long as he's been a public figure, so one of them was probably bound to be true at some point.

maryportfuncity 10,682 Posted October 20 Clarkson is enough of a mess of health worries, overweight, long-term smoking, fond of a pint etc. that he'd likely recognise as a motoring journalist the high-mileage aspects of his own body. Akin to a car that's been driven the way he tried to drive on screen. Yeah, likely a busier thread in the next few years, stent or no stent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with the above comments that Clarkson is unlikely to make old bones. However, I think he would be a really bad DL pick and that we should err on the side of caution. Over the years we've seen people who lived terrible lifestyles with countless conditions, and yet they stuck around for ages despite it – Jerry Lewis springs to mind. Unless Clarkson is diagnosed with a terminal illness I don't think we should pay him too much attention. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,628 Posted October 20 Yes. The Deathlist should really be those who are over 85 or those younger who are known to be or reasonably suspected to be terminally ill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,231 Posted October 20 I disagree. I think a few 'loose cannons' and individuals who enjoy a blatantly unhealthy lifestyle add spice to the Deathlist. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
