Just met Ricky Gervais :)

CaptainComedy · 19 Jun 2009 at 20:02

Just left my work office in hampstead and could hear a large group of people singing happy birthday to someone as I turned the corner there was camera crew and everything singing to someone.

so I asked this (well fit) lady what was going on and we chatted about it for a couple of mins then ricky gervais comes up in a coat and hat (didnt notice him at first) and asks if it was a wrap for the day to which she shouts "ok people thats a rap!" I was like "aw I would have liked to say that" so I said "Yeah thats a wrap!" quickly... They looked at me oddly a sec and I just looked at them and smiled... one of those long silent moments you know.... and he goes "do you work here?" and I said "yep" and he goes "with us? I havent seen you." and I said no I work by there" and pointed to my work. and he does that typical ricky "oooooooow riiiiiiiiiiight" like he was in character.

and I said my good byes and that was that.

on a side note:
Pot Noodle omnomnom!

Did he keep looking at some imaginary camera and raising his eyebrow?

It was late one night, a few years ago, when I was walking through the local park. I suddenly felt someone behind me, their hands over my eyes. When I turned in surprise, there was Bill Murray, his creased face leaning in close. Bill whispered, “No one is ever going to believe you,“ and then just walked away.

Shame you didn't notice earlier, could have yelled "CUT" half way through filming then ran away

Morba · 19 Jun 2009 at 20:09

it was more like:

like a monotonous welshman first experiencing the joys of tone

but tbh - its london, there's lots of celebs here

Ricochet J · 19 Jun 2009 at 20:10

Did you tell him he's not funny and never has been?

Marky · 19 Jun 2009 at 20:11

You should have said "I liked you in Horne and Corden"

G-MAN2004 · 19 Jun 2009 at 20:12

I wasnt really phased by seeing ricky though tbh - I think I made a fool of myself cos the girl was so hot..... I mean.... she was really hot..... she can direct my movie any day.

leaskovski · 19 Jun 2009 at 20:15
