Ricky Gervais has suggested that he should have had cosmetic dentistry before playing dentist Dr Bertram Pincus in Ghost Town.
Recalling an interview about the 2008 movie, Gervais said: "Once a journalist said to me: ‘In your movie, you have the most amazing set of horrible-looking fake teeth.’ I said, ‘No, they are my own teeth’."
He added: "The journalist went red and I said: ‘Don’t worry about it. If you haven’t noticed, I’m English’."
While hindsight is a wonderful thing, others can avoid Ricky’s predicament and opt for cosmetic dentistry, which can give a person renewed confidence as they strive to move up the career ladder.
Gervais has also admitted that he doesn’t particularly look forward to acting roles where he has to put on an accent, use a wig or kiss one of his co-stars.
The actor achieved fame in television series The Office, in which he plays boss-from-hell David Brent.
Gervais is now a celebrated comedian, author, actor, director, producer and screenwriter, while he also had a brief stint as a pop musician.
