With the press speculating about Ricky Gervais going missing during his delivery at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards recently, and it being reported that certain nominees and winners were annoyed at some of his material about them, it now turns out it wasn't true; he had after-show drinks with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, two of the supposed recipients of the attacks. I'm a real fan of Ricky 's humour, and I really admire him to sticking to his OWN* script and not one drafted out by a team of sickly botoxed fake tanned Hollywood writers.
Apparently Robert de Niro and Halle Berry were killing themselves laughing . Yes he was on the cusp of offence but that's him, that's what he does best. His humour is so unexpected and rampantly witty, ideal to puncture the Hollywood egos that were strutting their stuff on the night.
And if it was so uncomfortable for everyone last year, why did they invite him back?
It was, in hindsight, a terrible conspiracy against him, it wasn't the truth.
But to me the truth is that he's inspirational, brave and immensly funny.
* With Stephen Merchant of course
