The message

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.

Same difference.

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.

Well most of his age would have been in the army, etc.

And then there was Audie Murphy, allegedly
the most decorated American soldier of WW2, who did play himself.

Standing on a box most of the time. Allegedly.

So that's two...
