Gervais to Americans: You're Fat
Ricky Gervais has lost 42 pounds in recent months and he tells the Daily Telegraph it was for health reasons.
"The Hollywood pressure is that you do have to be of a certain standard or a certain type," he said. "I see everyone doing it, even good character actors. I think, 'Why are you starving yourself?' The pressure is there to have white, straight teeth..."
The pressure was not something he succombed to, he said:
"What is in America? I don't give a **** what they think and if I don't get a film role because my teeth are crooked, then **** them, I don't want it. I just go, 'It's ridiculous.'
"I hate them, and I hate that people think that I would. It makes me angry. I remember when a newspaper said, 'He's lost three stone for Hollywood.'
"I went, 'No, I haven't lost three stone and I would never ******* do it for Hollywood.
"I did it 'cos I work out and I wanna be fit.' And that annoys me."
