John Simpson spent 15 years working as a police reporter in Britain, covering crimes before abandoning his career in journalism. During this period, he accumulated significant experience in criminal reporting.
The journalist decided to change careers and now works as a clown. The transition represents a radical career change, moving from covering tragedies and disasters to an activity that requires a different relationship with these situations.
Simpson's new profession requires a distinct approach to disaster, unlike his previous work which consisted of reporting tragic events. The professional transformation suggests a search for a different perspective on crisis and misfortune situations.
