Ricky Gervais recently recounted his honest response to obtaining a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
After being awarded a star, the comedian told Extra, "I had to sit through all these people saying nice things about me and my career." And all I can do is chuckle uncomfortably, but I made it through."
The Office alum reflected on his late mother at the moment, stating, "It's crazy..." The first thing I do is think about my mother and what she would say if she were still alive.
"It would have been unbelievable..." She was happy of me for passing my examinations... So, this would be off the charts," said the 63-year-old.
Ricky is well-known for his stand-up comedy specials and harsh jabs at A-list visitors while presenting the Golden Globe Awards five times.
During the event, the After Life actor appeared to allude at conquering cancel culture, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"I'd love to claim that it was due to my unrivaled genius, but truth be told, it's a cocktail of luck, persistence, and a little bit of pushing against the tide," the British actor said of his success.
The Derek actor said, "Many people hate you as well as love you..." However, those who despise you should have no influence on you. "The ones who love you buy your house!"
Ricky mentioned that they had a few strange years of cancel culture, saying, "People telling you what you can and can't laugh at or talk about, but we pushed back, and we won." "Until next time."
