Richard Hammond having ‘real crisis’ about turning 50

OHMYGOSSIP — Richard Hammond is “having a real crisis” about turning 50.
The ‘Grand Tour’ co-host will see in the milestone in December but he is concerned about reaching the age because it feels “properly grown up”, although he plans to celebrate with a fancy dress party.
He said: “I’m absolutely in a flat tailspin panic. I’m having a real crisis about it.
“I can’t be 50. I’m like 11, 50 is older than most of the teachers. 50 is properly grown up.
“You think, ‘That’s not me, I’m not really 50.’ Because that’s properly grown up.”
When asked if he will have a fancy dress party, he replied: “Yeah.”
Should Richard need any advice about turning 50 he could ask his pal and ‘Grand Tour’ co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson, 58, but he may want to be aware of porcelain ducks when he reaches the age bracket after the ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ host had a close shave with one while filming the motoring show.
Richard explained: “There haven’t been any major incidents in this one.
“The larger of my two daft friends will tell you he suffered a terrible injury – and he did.
“He cut his finger slightly on a porcelain duck.”
While there were no major injuries during filming for the show’s third series, Richard admits he was shaking with fear when he had to drive across a rickety wooden bridge over a large canyon in Colombia.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’, he added: “You know sometimes when you’re doing things and you have to act a bit and play it up a bit? Not required on that.
“When I said to camera I’m shaking it’s because I realised, ‘Oh no, I really am.’
“I was scared. We did all go over it but my vehicle was, ironically, bigger.”
