Ricky Gervais Says He Could've Said Far More 'Terrible' Jokes As Golden Globes Host: 'Think Of The Things I Could Have Said'

Ricky Gervais has insisted he could have said far more"terrible things" to Hollywood stars when hosting the Golden Globe Awards.

The 60-year-old comic has famously caused a stir on every one of his five stints fronting the ceremony by mocking the star-studded guests — including memorably accusing them of enabling disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein by"acting like they don't see a thing" at the 2020 ceremony — but he can't understand why he gets criticism for giving the celebrities a tough time.

He added, “Robert De Niro was just crying with laughter when I made a joke about Hugh Hefner and his young bride. He called me after a week and said, ‘I wanna say you did a great job.’ ‘Oh man,’ I said, ‘I annoyed some people.’ He said, ‘F*** ’em, they were jokes.’” And Ricky thinks some of his gags have been unfairly criticised because people confuse the target with the subject.

He said: “I said [in 2011] the Golden Globe for special effects goes to the people who airbrushed theBonanza“Kim Cattrall said it was ageist. I said: ‘No it’s the opposite. I’m saying, what’s wrong with being 50?’ I hate that about Hollywood, where f****** George Clooney has to have a f****** 22-year-old girlfriend. Aaagh!”
