After recently challenging Andy Murray to hit a target strapped to a moving car with his serve, the British automaker followed it up by getting famous comedian Jimmy Carr to chauffeur him to Wimbledon.
Murray is currently chasing his second Wimbledon title, so what better way to get there than next to one of the funniest people on the planet. During their drive over, the two go through several Carr-specific topics such as “yummy mummies” or the so-called art of grunting. Mind you, Carr isn’t the type of comedian to keep things PG-13, not even in the presence of other celebrities.
“We have a really close team and are often playing practical jokes on each other – this was definitely one of the better ones,” said Murray. “Jimmy is one of my favorite comedians, I’ve been to see him live before but to have a front-row seat to this show was amazing!”
Carr himself is an avid tennis fan, which is why he’ll be in the stands on Monday to watch Murray play.
“I look like Roger Federer’s weird younger brother so who better to take on the position of Jaguar’s Secret Chauffeur,” said the comedian, before adding that he “loves everything about Wimbledon; the excitement, the crowd, the anticipation, the £15 punnets of strawberries. Now that we are chums hopefully Andy will give me a wave in the crowd this time and make it extra special.”
Murray, Jaguar’s latest UK Tennis ambassador is set to receive his own F-PACE SUV, now on sale at Jaguar retailers throughout the country.
