Top Gear fans are only just realising Jeremy Clarkson was in classic Disney movie

FANS of Top Gear are only just realising that Jeremy Clarkson is a secret Disney movie star.

The TV star has been uncovered for his glittery Hollywood past after fans were left stunned to realise he has appeared in a huge animated movie.

Movie fans watching the Pixar classic Cars noticed a familiar voice in the form of the presenter.

Jeremy voiced the role of Harv, the hard-hitting agent who looked after the show's main character Lightning McQueen.

Harv is never seen on screen and McQueen speaks to him only over the telephone.

Upon realising that it was in fact Jeremy, fans took to Twitter to share their shock and excitement.

One wrote: "How old where you when you found out the boss of lightning McQueen (Harv) in the film cars was voiced by Jeremy Clarkson."

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

Some fans were initially left shocked when they thought had Jeremy had been edited out of the movie but this is not the case.

Jeremy voiced the character for the UK cinema and DVD release only with US star Jeremy Pivan taking up the role in his homeland.

Streaming service Disney+ currently carries the US version of the movie which appeared to spark the confusion.

However, in good news for Jeremy Clarkson, fans were left praising his version over his American counterpart.

One fan added online: "Disney+ doesn't have Jeremy Clarkson as Harv but the American version guy, I'm livid."

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

The dialogue remains largely the same apart from Clarkson opting to say Sat Nav as opposed to GPS as well as using the more colloquially British 'mate' instead of the word, 'kid'.
