James May announces the day he will quit The Grand Tour

The mighty trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May won’t be on TVs forever and we have to face it. In fact, May could leave The Grand Tour in five years from now, as he has admitted in a recent interview in the Christmas issue of Radio Times.

Like all human beings, May is getting older and he has declared “we [the team] will be too old for it” soon. “We have to accept that fairly soon we will be too old for it,” 53-year-old May told Radio Times. “Richard Hammond [46] is a reasonably fit bloke who looks after himself, me and Jeremy [56] aren't.”

Translation: May is going to grab a whole lot of money and then live exceedingly well in retirement.

I never believe someone when the say they will retire in five years...five months maybe but not five years. A lot can happen in five years to shorten the goal or extend it. Talk is cheap and that is all this is, talk. Love the new show and hope it goes on for ten years.

Meaningless comment. All three of them are already quite rich from Top Gear. None of them would ever have to work ever again if they did not want to. So you have to say that what they are doing is really a labor of love for them. Further they keep up their celebrity status which ultimately allows them to make even more money down the road doing something else. May will probably get involved in some massive "leggo"
project that lunches into outer space and perhaps sets up a colony on Mars.
