Clarkson’s Farm’s Kaleb Cooper reveals he’s going bald – and the trick he uses to hide it
ONE of the nation’s favourite farmers has revealed some of his most hair-raising secrets.
Breakout star of Clarkson’s Farm – Kaleb Cooper – has been speaking about his daily battle with his hair.
The farmer is known for switching up his locks regularly, much to Jeremy Clarkson‘s amusement, but it turns out he was given a glimpse into the future of his follicles from his dad.
Kaleb said: “My dad’s completely bald, basically. So therefore I know for a damn fact that I’m going to end up there.”
Fans of the hit Prime show will be familiar with Kaleb’s ever changing hairstyles and, speaking to The Sun’s TV Mag and other press, he revealed there’s a good reason behind the constant new hairdos.
He said: “I thought to myself, well, I’m going to try all these different hairstyles, pick one that I really like, which I found, which was indeed the perm. But unfortunately, having a perm is high maintenance.
“I haven’t got enough time in the day to go and do three hours of hair before I go out to work.”
He continued: “You know, the cows need feeding. Let’s face it. The cows never look at me and go, Caleb, your hair is terrible today.
“They just go, give me my food now. They never, ever judge me, which is great.
“So I’ve got it all pushed forward at the moment because I’m actually losing my hair. So therefore I’m just trying to hide my bald head.”
Kaleb was talking at the end of a whirlwind year, having completed a nationwide tour, but even though he was away from the farm he couldn’t give up his internal farming clock.
He said: “I can’t sit in bed until, you know, until I’m needed. I have to be out doing something.
“So I went on my emails and just found farmers that I messaged in saying, I hear you’re in the area…., let’s come and see my farm. And that’s what I did. I basically called it farmer Tinder dating.”
Fans of the Amazon Prime series also got a sneak preview of the drama to come in series four of Clarkson’s Farm.
He said: “The weather is obviously a big part in terms of the series four.
“And of course, a big part in the farming industry. But the weather in series four is extreme.”
