hi I'm Ricky Gervais and today I'll be doing the wired auto-complete interview from home let's see what the Internet want to know so these are frequently asked questions about me I've been away one wants to know these things but that's gone I'll answer some if I know the answer where wicked ways where does ricky gervais come from I mean do they meet biologically or was that my dad gave a half of his genetic material my mum gave half of hers I come from reading which is I don't know what you call it it's a big town 40 miles outside London where is ricky gervais house Hampstead right obviously the most if I just said the address that's close enough it's announced dude yeah why Ricky Gervais why doesn't Mickie James Drive laziness I guess I've never bothered I've lived in London since I was you know 19 so you know the two more buses it was easier or take a cab I wish I could but I can't be bothered to learn I think that I've everything I wish I could speak French but I can't be bothered to learn so laziness but you can't drink and drive so what's the point why did Ricky Gervais Roast Hollywood I think it's what I was paid to do you know I'm a court jester I made the decision I've done it five times over the last ten years and every time it's like do you pan at the 200 people in the room or the 200 million people watching at home with no competition that the people at home aren't winning awards they're not millionaires what's in it for them to watch the richest most privileged people in the world just win an award no I tried to make it a spectator sport um so that's that's why they can take it how we need a vase how can I meet me back it's you can't I've got armed guards and electrified fences and lasers I've got a moat around this castle with alligators how which is Ricky Gervais is well but a moat with alligators that's how a mobile alligators none of your business how does Ricky Gervais is pronounce his name Ricky Gervais is if you did it saw like that phonetically it'd be like jerk it'd be a J apostrophe be a Z e Gervaise I don't know both correct pronunciation it's French obviously oh sure they hello oh I learned everything from Jarvis journalist Gerdes the most common one is the that make they make the S sound is for the Bizet sound so I go to base I think that's the most common particular merica jar base but I say Gervaise is Ricky Gervais is is Ricky Gervais a US citizen no I'm not I'm a British citizen nothing more to add to that really is Ricky Gervais is wealthy well um yeah don't worry about me I'm doing all right yeah is Ricky Gervais is related to David Bowie well yeah I suppose so distantly we're all related aren't we but no not in the 90 immediate sense not that we were I haven't worked out but we're all related are we really I mean we're great apes I think I looked like him when I was younger a little bit or trying to anyway I've got his teeth as well I suppose we talked similar to an American is really is married to Jane Fallon not legally not in the eyes of God we are really but not we haven't done the paperwork or had a wedding no is Ricky Gervais is cancelled every day I reckon every day by someone but luckily it means nothing what Ricky Gervais is what inspired Ricky Gervais is after life I was on tour with you mommy and I was only doing like 90 minutes work a day and I felt a bit guilty and I thought I should probably do another TV series unlike all the other ones I've done where the character came first like David Brent existed before the office daring existed before Darren etc this one the idea came to me rather like a movie idea like a high concept movie I did and I thought imagine a man who didn't care about living anymore and one day he's gonna commit suicide he could do what he wanted because he didn't care what he could just have one last Hirai could do and say what he wanted and he's always got suicide to fall back on so it was mucker like a superpower like nothing could hurt him he was invincible and then the next thing I thought oh what what would why would he nearly think so oh he lost everything and what would be won't be losing everything I thought well for me to be that you're your soulmate your life partner and I suppose that's when he got a little bit more serious but the big concept was imagine you could say and do everything cuz you didn't care whether you lived or died that was the only thing what made look at you as famous I guess being in the office but I don't know really I think that you're famous to different people for different things like kids recognized me from the nightly Museum and the Muppets and then some people recognized me just because I don't even think they know I'm a comedian they noticed me because I do lots of animal activism when they're into that so I don't know but I'd say what follows me round would be the creator of the office or David Brent yeah what did we do I say to Mel Gibson well I think I know what they mean when he to the podium without the last time I introduced him I said what does Shiva teaming mean I think that's what they're referring to they must have leaked out the word what was Ricky Gervais drinking I think that means at the Golden Globes as well listening it was a beer standard beer I think was Foster's because I think that's like you know three point six or something so you can drink those all night and not be drunk that's our professional I am I will only drink beer all night when I'm working what did you guys do back that's bursting general of the internet like it's my

the worst thing yeah I mean I had temperature sick nor was the other side to be a toilet but the worst thing is a cough cuz he could come a punchline I was drinking sort of like cough medicine and I was having you know cold remedies turned a beer a little beer that never anyone but no I haven't canceled the tour I've postponed what did Antonia Banderas say to Ricky Gervais I have no idea I didn't I introduced him like as a joke once I didn't know what he was I didn't know what he was staying so I don't know what he said to me I didn't I couldn't understand him what did you do I study when
