Ricky Gervais Celebrates “Embarrassing, Awkward” Moment Getting Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

British actor and comedian Ricky Gervais celebrated Friday, receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

BBC News reports that Gervais said he was “humbled” to have his star in a place that “celebrates the dreamers and doers of the industry,” and that his success was a mix of “luck, persistence, and a little bit of pushing against the tide.”

Gervais said he was initially nervous about receiving the accolade, believing he’d have to get down on all fours and put his hands in concrete: “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.”

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.”

Gervais has enjoyed huge success both in the UK and the US. His original BBC comedy The Office which he co-wrote and starred in was adapted into a long running US version starring Steve Carell, and he also created the Netflix hit comedy drama After Life.

He is equally well-known for his string of stand-up comedy specials, and for his ruthless barbs at A-list guests while hosting the Golden Globe Awards on five occasions.
