Ricky Gervais turned down by Prince
IS Ricky Gervais losing his touch? The comedian reveals he texted Prince Harry ahead of the Royal Wedding offering him comedy advice for his best man’s speech – but was politely declined. Gervais, 49, reportedly wrote on his blog: “I sent Prince Harry a text today offering to gag up his best man speech. (True.) He said he was fine.”
Gervais, who has struck up a friendship with fan Harry in recent years and is said to have signed a beermat for the Queen, added: “Hmmm? If I hear he’s (made any risqué jokes) I will sue obviously. I also reminded him it wasn’t fancy dress.”
