Ricky Gervais reacts to receiving major award

Ricky Gervais is the latest recipient of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the star is over the moon about it.

According to BBC, The Office actor recalled his initial reaction to the award, “I thought, I won’t get back up and that will be embarrassing. But I don’t have to do that. Me standing her now is as embarrassing and awkward as it gets.”

He continued, "I haven't even prepared a speech or anything. I should firstly apologize for how I'm dressed. This isn't me trying to be cool or disrespectful to the establishment. This is me not having a suit that fits anymore."

“Thank you so much for this honor. It's a genuine thrill to be part of such an exclusive clubs. And just looking around earlier at all the other stars, absolute icons, you know, Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, Fatty Arbuckle," Ricky added.

“And we've had a few weird years of cancel culture - people telling you what you can and can't laugh at or talk about, but we pushed back and we won until the next time.”

Moreover, the Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said, “Finally, a star that will give snarky commentary every time someone walks by… I always knew we needed a comedian’s touch on our famed sidewalk.”
