50 Cent clearly isn’t put off by the wrath of hate Chris Evans endured after replacing Jeremy Clarkson as the face of Top Gear.
For ‘Gear fans, the show has never been the same since bigmouth car nut Clarkson was axed, taking sidekicks Richard Hammond and James May with him.
Evans and Matt LeBlanc took on the seemingly impossible job of succeeding the notorious threesome for the revamp, and while the former Friends star seemed to a be hit, poor old shouty Chris stepped down just days after the new series’ finale.
But never fear, ‘cos Fiddy is here. The American rapper-turned-filmstar, real name Curtis James Jackson, has been talking up his suitability in an interview with The Daily Star.
Apparently a fan of the BBC’s once-flagship entertainment programme, Jackson told the newspaper: “I would love to work on Top Gear, I could save that show for sure, but it would cost them.
“There ain’t a car I haven’t owned over the years, my car collection is as good as anybody’s out there.”
Like most people on the internet, he doesn’t seem to be keen on the post-Clarkson era of the show so far, and reckons it’s a last chance saloon situation for its reputation.
“Top Gear was one of the world’s iconic shows and it’s a shame it came to this.
“The show since the old team left has been unrecognisable and if it don’t get back to where is should be soon then it may never recover.
“It’s a show you know you can watch any country you are in.”
Your move, BBCÂ producers.
