The message
from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:

Clarkson of course would have had a
tender floor to shovel off but he doesn't look the type to relish
physical exercise.

Of course not. He's an actor. You could count on the fingers of half a
hand the ones who are actually proficient at the things they portray.

I thought Clarkson was supposed to be a journalist.

As to actors just the occasional one might be competent. A couple come
to mind. Richard Todd; ok so he couldn't fly a Lancaster but ISTR that
he came very close to playing his army officer self in one or more of
the D Day epics he was in. And then there was Audie Murphy, allegedly
the most decorated American soldier of WW2, who did play himself.
