He's now a full-time farmer and star of Amazon Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm.
But life for Jeremy Clarkson wasn't always so quaint and rural, with the former Top Gear frontman revealing he is in fact banned from India and a couple of other countries.
The 64-year-old Yorkshireman travelled the world on the BBC car show and then did similar later in Prime Video's The Grand Tour.

And in doing so, it's safe to say he didn't please everybody.
Away from farm life, Clarkson currently presents Who Wants To Be A Millionaire over on ITV1 and ITVX.
It was during one episode that the television presenter reveals he wasn't welcome over in India.
Clarkson revealed all while asking a question to one of his Millionaire contestants. He asked: "The Hindu god Ganesh is traditionally depicted as having the head of which animal?"

With the contest pretty perplexed by the question, he used one of his lifelines to ask the host for help.
With Clarkson not 100 percent sure, the contestant opted to ask the audience.
But it was this exchange that reminded him he is actually banned from India; a country with a significant Hindu population.
After helping the contestant guess the correct answer - elephant, if you were wondering - Clarkson spent a bit of time talking about his India ban as well as his ban from two other countries.
He said as the audience laughed: "But weirdly I’m actually banned from India... um... I... I really am.

"I tried to go there last year and was refused a visa.
“So that’s Turkey, Argentina… not that anybody would want to go back there and India."
And the reason why Clarkson is banned from India? We don't quite know, as he's never specifically answered the query.
There's not a definite answer as to why Clarkson's wasn't allowed in the South Asian country but he did go there in 2011 for the Top Gear India Special, with a 'trade mission'.

While some viewers may have found it hilarious, his sense of humour didn't go down all to well with the people in government. But there's also a chance his visa was denied simply because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With Turkey, there's a possibility Clarkson's ban is down to another of the Top Gear specials, when they went to the Middle East back in 2010.

He, Hammond and May didn't particularly hang around in Turkey but some of their comments about roads and travel advice upset the country.

A popular news channel there, NTV, said 'exaggerated remarks' were made and the programme: "Disparaged Turkey. The presenters wore bulletproof vests and helmets and said that the southeast of Turkey should be considered a war zone.”
Clarkson's problems with Argentina may be a little more clear for Top Gear fans as the Patagonia Special in 2014 featured some rather memorable scenes.
As his vehicle, he used a Porsche with a 'H982 FKL' number plate which was very badly received by locals.
Although it was apparently coincidental, locals decided it was in reference to the 1982 Falklands War and during their journey, the car was attacked with stones and even pickaxes.
So it doesn't look like the people of India or Argentina and Turkey can expect to see Clarkson zooming by anytime soon.
