Ricky Gervais ‘fat and sweaty’ for Golden Globes

Read More ]"/> Ricky Gervais has joked that TV viewers won’t be able to miss him when he hosts the upcoming Golden Globe Awards – because he’ll be the fat and sweaty one.

The Office star appears in a commercial for the January 17 bash urging viewers to tune in to watch the ceremony, which recognises the previous year’s best in television and cinema.

He jokes: “You can’t miss me, I’ll be the fat one, sweating.”

The British-born funnyman, 48, has previously said he agreed to host the Los Angeles show because it’ll be “a laugh”.

He told the New York Post: “The Globes is a proper industry party with people at tables with drinks, getting drunk.

“When the Globes called I said, ‘I’m not doing rehearsals and I’ll write my own stuff’.

“I’m gonna turn up and wing it, probably drunk.

“I’m doing this for a laugh; I only do things now that could end my career. It’s like an adrenaline sport for me and if I’m being honest, I don’t care what happens. If you try your best and have no malice in your heart, you can sleep at night – and I’ll certainly sleep that night because I’ll be so drunk!”

Gervais caused controversy at last year’s Globes, when he made a joke about the Holocaust while he was hosting.
