People only just realising Jeremy Clarkson is in Cars

If there's one thing that everyone can agree on when it comes to Jeremy Clarkson, it's that he loves his cars.

Clarkson became a household name with his lead role in Top Gear up until 2015 and has since continued to entertain with The Grand Tour.

So the 63-year-old's status as a car lover is totally undisputed.

However, it was his appearance in one of Pixar's films that has completely taken people by surprise.

I am of course talking about Cars, which came out in 2006. Well, after all this build-up, it wasn't going to be Ratatouille was it?

Clarkson provided the voice for Harv, the agent who works with Lightning McQueen, played by Owen Wilson.

Harv also makes an appearance in the Playstation 2 game Cars: Race-O-Rama.

Clarkson's character is known for his strict personality, often chastising his clients if they aren't strictly focusing on racing.

Unfortunately, Harv is never seen in the flesh - or in this case, the metal.

Harv is only heard over a speakerphone speaking with McQueen as he makes his way to a race.

Fans shared their reactions online as they were shocked to discover the controversial personality was behind the character's voice.

One user said: "How old were you when you found out the boss of Lightning McQueen (Harv) in the film cars was voiced by Jeremy Clarkson."

Another fan added: "Is Jeremy Clarkson Harv in cars? Wow! I never noticed that."

But, some viewers were left unhappy when they thought Harv's familiar voice had been changed.

One viewer commented: "Anyone else notice the voice of Harv in @Disney Cars has changed?! It's no longer @JeremyClarkson!"

While another shared: "I was today years old when I realised Disney Pixar removed Jeremy Clarkson from the voice of 'Harv' from Cars. Day ruined."

However, this is simply a misconception.

Oftentimes the US and UK versions of Disney films have different voice actors take on side roles.

In this case, Harv's US voice was Jeremy Piven.

But yet, fans were still disgruntled to find that the Disney Plus version featured the American actor's voice over that of Clarkson's.

One said: "Jeremy Clarkson will forever be a better voice of Harv than Jeremy Piven in cars."

While another chimed in: "WT* Disney+ doesn't have Jeremy Clarkson as Harv but the American version guy, I'm livid."

Another quipped: "I'm sorry but the fact that Jeremy Clarkson isn't the default voice for Harv in Cars on Disney Plus is a travesty."
