James May has said a reunion with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond is 'slightly difficult' to envisage.
James May has cast doubt on a professional reunion with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond, telling LBC there are no plans for another project together more than two years after The Grand Tour ended in 2024. The 63-year-old said it was 'slightly difficult' to imagine working with them again as they are all 'knocking on a bit', though he acknowledged 'you should never say never'.
The three presenters are pursuing separate ventures since The Grand Tour concluded. Jeremy Clarkson has focused on the hugely successful Clarkson's Farm, whilst Richard Hammond has launched new projects with Discovery. May has thrown himself into a range of business and media ventures of his own.
One of May's best-known projects is The Royal Oak, a village pub in Swallowcliffe, Wiltshire, where he has been a director and co-owner since 2020. He has warned that running a pub is far from easy in the current climate. He is also behind James Gin, an award-winning gin business he launched with distiller Hugh Anderson. According to the company's website, the concept emerged after May bought half of his local pub and wanted to help secure its future.
