Comedian and owner of the world’s most boisterous laugh, Ricky Gervais has recently been identified as the least healthy looking vegetarian anyone has ever seen in a sixteen-year independent study.
Following his first comedy special in eight years, the highly revered writer and comedian shared with the audience how his love for animals means he could never eat them, leaving them to wonder how much cheese he must eat in order to look like a basic fat guy.
No stranger to poking fun at his own weight, Gervais even had music icon David Bowie perform a song about his portly appearance, an ironic move as the report confirmed 9/10 people would have picked Bowie to be the vegetarian out of the two.
Despite having spent time in the eating disorder capital of Los Angeles, it appears Gervais’ meat-free diet must contain a lot of calories that he does not manage to burn off in his exercise regime which includes laughing at and bullying Karl Pilkington.
While the vegetarian community is quick to point out other celebrities such as Liam Hemsworth, Ellen Degeneres and literally anyone else who is a vegetarian, they are happy to have Gervais on board, even if he does slightly tarnish their reputation by looking like a man you could physically roll down a street.
