Back in 2020, Jack showed off his flashy side as he took his £41,000 Mustang 5.0 V8 to a Sainsbury's supermarket near his base in Manchester.
The actor, 36, took the luxury set of wheels to the shops as he stocked up on weekly groceries amid the pandemic.
Months later, in November, the black muscle car was brutally clamped outside his home, with a red sticker on the driver's window that warned not to remove the yellow clamp on the front left wheel.
According to the Council's website, the release charge at the time was £40 as well as a further £25 or £35 penalty charge notice.

Then, in 2021, the reported that Jack was forced to abandoned his sporty motor after it ran out of petrol amid the fuel crisis at the time.
Speaking on the incident, he said: "My car is at work, I've got no fuel. It's gone.
"I've turned up to petrol stations and there's queues and I'm like, 'Oh, they've got fuel.'
"I get out and I'm like, 'Petrol?' I might as well have said, 'Egyptian artefacts.'

"You can get diesel, but I can't find petrol anywhere."
The new Ford Mustang is heading to Britain with a V8 and drift mode plus you can rev its engine using the key
According to , the monstrous Mustang - which is the longest-produced Ford car nameplate - can hit a top speed of 155 mph and goes from 0-62 mph in just 4.3 seconds thanks its giant 5038cc engine boasting eight-cylinders.
Jack hasn't just been spotted in the fast Ford though, as he's also been spotted in a gorgeous Maserati.
He was seen in the driver's seat of the £50,000 sports car back in 2017, with OK! snapping him on his way through Manchester's city centre.
He was also pictured parking the Ghibli motor outside the ITV studios.
The gorgeous Italian whip is certainly no slouch, capable of reaching up to 177 mph with a 0-60 acceleration coming in under five seconds.
It's unclear if Jack still owns the Ghibli, as he hasn't been spotted with it since late 2017.
In a , Jack joked that his favourite car is in fact Brum - the adorable little car from the 1990s British children's television series.
Later, in the same On the Sofa Cinema Club podcast interview, he was asked: "What’s your dream car? Any advances on Brum?"
As he ran through his favourite motors, Jack revealed a taste for the classics.
He said: "It was always a Mustang… but like a 69 or 68.
"Those Miami Vice Ferraris, a Delorean."
