Over the weekend, fans were taken aback when Ricky Gervais unleashed an astonishing and profane tirade on his blog aimed at the multitude of individuals who camped out for the Royal Wedding.
In his blog entry, the comedian, known for his unpatriotic stance, reminisced about the incident when Prince Harry sparked outrage by donning a Nazi uniform to a party, in addition to criticizing those who opted to camp in advance of last Friday’s celebration.
He expressed, ‘I sent Prince Harry a text offering to critique his best man speech. (True.) He replied that he was okay.
‘Hmmm? Should I hear about any holocaust or famine nonsense, I will definitely sue. I also reminded him that it wasn’t a fancy dress event.’
Gervais remarked, ‘On a more serious note; I genuinely like Harry. I like William too and sincerely wish the happy couple all the best, as I would for anyone on their wedding day. But… seriously. Enough already.
‘Who are these bloody idiots from around the globe camping out for days just to catch a 30-second glimpse of two people from 30 yards away? Good grief.
‘Still, can’t complain. I suppose everyone enjoys a day off.’
In the meantime, Gervais was not the sole celebrity making light of the significant day, as Kathy Griffin made a quip about the duration of the kiss.
In a special program called Kathy Griffin’s Take on the Royal Wedding, Griffin joked, ‘I made out with my dog longer than this, I truly did.
‘Really? No kidding? Seriously? It reminded me of the kind of kiss you’d share when breaking up with someone.’
Gervais has gained notoriety for his provocative remarks and garnered attention when he hosted the Golden Globes earlier this year.
During the lengthy three-hour event, the 49-year-old took jabs at nearly every member of the film industry.
Making a jab at Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp for their project The Tourist, he stated, ‘It seems everything this year was three-dimensional. Except for the characters in The Tourist.‘
‘I tell you what, I’m joining the bandwagon, as I haven’t even watched The Tourist. Who has?’
Drawing gasps from the Beverly Hills audience, he referenced a film featuring ‘two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay, which is the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists then.’
Gervais concluded, ‘My lawyers assisted me with the phrasing of that joke.’
