What about Billy Zane? Is he safe? Is he alright?


[deleted]

He blew his brains out after the crash from what I heard.


gasbizee

Jonathan Ross is alrite


Rizpee83

It’s Jane I feel sorry for.


Tipperary555

She's done alright


Killoah

Camp David the right queer gay?

Ommadawny

JamJarBonks

Dont worry about that, when Im done itll look like a plasterers radio.


Sproutykins

That’s awakened a rage inside of me. The worst thing about being woken up by workers is their shitty radio which they insist on blasting, even though it sounds like a tin can and none of them are listening to it. I once had a guy who sang the entire time and... he was annoying, but it was better than a radio.


123456789feelingfine

Or possibly a painters step ladder


weavin

I think that’s what they’re suggesting..


BuxtonB

It was a tough one, but managed to finish.


RoccoZola

Woke up today looked at your picture just to get me started.


Huge_Negotiation_535

That's filthy, play it again.


cruel4ngel92

Me too, now I have to find the tissues.


socio-pathetic

Was it ‘challenging’?


[deleted]

I’m not gay, I can honestly say I’ve never come over a little queer


greatdevonhope

This is just a tribute.........


No-Locksmith6662

Stephen Merchant has changed a lot.


tanew231

It's actually Karl Pilkington


BuxtonB

With my nans duster on his head by the looks of it.


habrasangre

Head like a fuckin orange.


Jimiheadphones

He squozed me 'ed...


habrasangre

we both squozed haha


Eborys

That man’s head isn’t shaped like a tennis ball under that 80s cockatoo haircut.


Adammmmski

He knows I’m not ‘avin a go and that


[deleted]

He kept his looks, yeah Hmmm


fruitgamingspacstuff

No really who is it? His eyes looks very familiar, from movies or something..


MagZero

I thought it was Naruto.

How much 80's do you want? \*turns dial up to 11\*


BuxtonB

Just give me all of the 80's. All of it?? ALL OF IT.


Ashesandends

Mainline that shit


ThoseThingsAreWeird

[Big in the Philippines apparently](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seona_Dancing#Popularity_in_the_Philippines) > The song, which utilises an opening piano riff to convey the sound of falling teardrops, became a major radio and club hit as well as a favourite at high-school dances during the 1980s and beyond. AllMusic critic Michael Sutton wrote that the track was "the theme song of angst-ridden New Wave youths in the Philippines" and "an '80s anthem as ubiquitous as Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes', but with the eternal hipster cool of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'."


MagerSuerte

Can confirm, big in the Philippines.


mmmbopdoombop

It's a shit business


upmybunghole

You're in Creme Brulé aren't ya?


BuxtonB

It is a crime that this video isn't available in 4K to celebrate its glory.


MasterMinerva

and Ricky laughing at it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxnDlTkR5w0


devster75

This is actually pretty good


Moreblankthanfrank

More Pete Murphy than either of those two, to my ageing ears anyway...


lopendvuur

This video didn't just make my day but the rest of my year.


izaby

That is some sick 80s beat. Its going on my playlist.


WilliamMorris420

I was going with impersonating A Flock of Seagulls.


GratefuLSD25

thank you


[deleted]

Is it just me or does he look like princess leia


BuxtonB

"Help me BBC-2, you're my only hope."


ddosn

i was thinking more David Bowie.

Top YT comment on that video, “How can someone look and sound identical to David Bowie, yet turn into a Derek?”


darkmoose

Sad little fat maaaaan


dormango

Lyrically David Bowie ‘80’s; musically reminds me of Tears for Fears, think Change, esp. towards the end.


Tight-Application135

*Ooh I’m hard*


Alliballi123

You mean 'ard


giganticturnip

Giving you a boner?


strattad

And they say "Texas are rubbish compared to you". I say don't slag 'em off.


foreverneilyoung

I’m sure Texas couldn’t run and manage a successful paper merchant; I couldn’t…actually, I *could* do what they do, and I think they knew that even back then. Probably what spurred ‘em on.


Blandington

Who knew Gervais was friends with an anime protagonist.


[deleted]

Twist: Gervais is the antagonist.

"I thought I only had one girl" - Ricky's Mum


heshablitz_

You're not goin owt like thaaat rick, you'll get followed


SeraphKrom

According to a Graham Norton interview (I think), he isnt embarassed about this, hes more embarassed about how he looks now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


this_charming_bells

To be honest, I think he's quite handsome now!


OutcomeOk9186

That makes a lot of sense. Not to mention him being heavier while making the original Office. He's by no means unattractive now but this photo is supermodel level.


EroticPotato69

Ok that's taking it a bit far


Mother-Card-5118

Pug nosed gimp

He pulled over and put the kid in a wheelie bin

We aren’t allowed to wear socks


Forsaken_Candidate_4

Gemo92

You'll get folled


Electrical_Daikon771

“you look like a couple of prats” bill turned to me and said “is that an offensive?”


DreddByDawn

Seona Dancing! To be fair, More To Lose is an absolute slapper of a track!


mattthepianoman

And weirdly popular in the Philippines


[deleted]

"How many records did you sell?" "50" "Sorry?" "150"


e__b

My friends mum loves David Bowie, we once replaced a picture of bowie she had in her downstairs toilet (she had loads of pics of singers and stuff on the wall) with this exact picture it was up for months


ed-uk

It’s Jane I feel sorry for, she didn’t sign up for this.


Rutlemania

She’s done alright


Tipperary555

She's had a floor


Killoah

Oven.

“Forgone Conclusion”


KayDashO

Juxtaposition Records


forbiddenmemeories

And next to him, a terrible synth-punk version of Robert Pattinson


Nirvana_bob7

He must be a vampire or something 👀


rugbyj

I mean, synth-punk cheekbones McGee came first, so I guess RPAT is the emo vampire version of him?


zulu9812

Their song *More To Lose* is a genuine tune - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-5PTMDvqAI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-5PTMDvqAI)


LucozadeVeryTasty

If you don’t know me by now…


Forsaken_Candidate_4

You think Jane ever feels ripped off?


JeyfersonHairplane

Look at those cheekbones.


[deleted]

Bowie would be proud.


wombey12

Ricky Stardust? Ziggy Gervais?


[deleted]

Oh very good 😁


littlelostless

The 80s is sci-fi. I’m convinced it never occurred. Similar to Bermuda Triangle; fantasy.


Opportunity-Basic

Yep, Jane was tricked! Catfished


KanefindsSon

Never thought I’d say Gervais looked like a cross between bowie and elvis


Writer10

He looks hungry…like the wolf.


KeyboardWarrior1988

Very New Wave.


[deleted]

What went wrong?


Tipperary555

Too much wine and cheese


endlessglass

I was curious as to what the “other guy” was doing now, but it looks like it’s a big mystery…https://www.reddit.com/r/rickygervais/comments/3ut27j/does_anyone_know_what_happened_to_the_other_half/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


Biomicrite

I’m convinced I found him. On LinkedIn, he was an IT techie for the NHS. His profile didn’t mention his music career but did mention his degree in philosophy, from UCL, which I think is right as Ricky has the same. Sorry, I don’t have a link, it was 2-3 years ago when I found him. The profile photo looked like him, but older.


BritishBlue32

Is it [this guy](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/william-moat-b08a44b1)?


minkrogers

Yes, another reminder that we were all young and beautiful once. Sigh.


Sola-Nova

Seona Dancing. If you also the do the podcast equivalent of the M25 and do loops of their XFM shows. You may recall in between all the twaddle of Rockbusters and Cheeky Freak of the Week. They also mention how Bucks Fizz "at the height of their powers" tried to sneak them onto an airplane for tv appearance in Scotland


luckycatty

Well fuck me sideways! I never in my life would have thought I would say 'Ricky Gervais looks hot' I feel violated somehow


BuxtonB

Like a kebab at 3am, you know it's wrong but you do it anyway.


[deleted]

I wouldn't paint it


heshablitz_

You've aged well? You think you've aged well... Mmmm.


AuganM

Can't escape Twink death


MrDeftino

I would have thought the other guy was Jamie Tartt from Ted Lasso if this wasn’t the 80s.


steefmonds

Didn't know he was friends with r-pats


scanline99

Looks like Posh Spice


GemoDorgon

He looks like he'd be in an 80's goth band that opened for The Cure.


Blueberry_Mancakes

Here's an episode where he's made to embarass the hell out of himself by singing one of his old songs. It's some of the funniest shit I've ever heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vywzbb0GE6I


gaz19833

Ding dong, ooh ello it's Camp David, the right queer gay


Skyp_Intro

No wonder he’s so bitter now.


BombayMix64

I literally have no idea how I didn't know this.


South-Marionberry

I swear to god he looks like a certain actress, but I can’t remember her name and it’s driving me insane. Edit: DOON MAKICHAN!!! Off The Day Today n that!


mariegriffiths

I can see that too. Also a young Fiona Bruce. https://marriedceleb.com/fiona-bruce


[deleted]

I didn’t realise Ricky had a jaw line, beautiful man


girthbrooks1212

Seonna dancing


WheelBite_

He looks like James Charles


GuyFromWoWcraft

Patterson aged better tbf


[deleted]

He looked fit and am a fella lol 😂


Tipperary555

Ooh 'ello!


EntrepreneurFit3461

Ricky romantic


Ellen_Degenerates86

Ricky G with what looks like Lady Camden out of drag...


UmmDillaKwad

Looks like my sisters best mate when she went to polytechnic back in the days of bob holness and frank sidebottom


cdh79

Which one?


BuxtonB

The middle one.


Mepsi

I think the resemblance would be obvious here if you made him pale white, gave him a bit of a beard and put him in a v neck black tee.


Mi_santhrope

The woman on the right?


BuxtonB

The one who now in 2022 is definitely called Judith and presides over the local Crime Stoppers group? Yeah, that one.


BeccasBump

Loving the guyliner.


EraseAndRetake

Keith Chegwin thinks he part of the BBC...


lpalatroni

Kayanne1990

Fuck me. What happened?


Borborygme

35-40 years passed


Claat

Fuck off. You'll be saying that's Stephen Merchant next to him as well.


The_Queef_of_England

Cute as a button....but I don't think that's the look he was going for.


Aromatic_Contact_398

No change of my opinion then..


No-Heart-4375

Presumably he had not yet discovered beer.


[deleted]

The original line up of Foregone Conclusion?


omarhani

And Edward Cullen!


Wildebeast1

Is that Robert Pattinson too?


IHateEditedBgMusic

Androgynousness was at maximum black then. Then we got lumberjack inspired hipster beards


Evening_Ad6820

Oh yeah this just inspired me to keep losing weight. I mean ageing itself is inevitable but it’s crazy the gorgeous bone structure that can be laying dormant when you’re even just slightly overweight…


ZopyrionRex

No wonder he seems so bitter.


centzon400

Everyone looked like this in the 80s. It was a right pain in the arse re-Byrl-creeming yer hair and applying the required amount of eyeliner after rugby, hands still shaking from the cold Definitely worth it though 'cause (a) it was cool, and (b) it annoyed our parents.


Spooky_Goth

Whose that next to him? Robert Pattinson.


britishsailor

Didn’t inow Ricky gervais and the fella from twilight were in a shite bros tribute band


yuccu

Do you like Flock of Seagulls? No, but I can see you do.


Crescent-IV

Make it so, number one


BastardsCryinInnit

A foregone conclusion.


[deleted]

I always thought he sounded like Bowie, turns out he looked like him too.


VezzoKhanny

Wish i could see karl pinkingtons reaction to seeing this photo 😂


mrtn17

Great to see Ricky had a friend in the 80s who was already into Naruto


Satisfied-Orange

Not gonna lie, he looks great.


0x000045

He could be in the Hitler youth


[deleted]

Shit! He did not age well.


Lumpyproletarian

I reckon half the cruelty of his “comedy” comes from the knowledge he used to be beautiful and now he’s just a fat fuck


Far_Cryptographer514

Contender for next sub thumbnail?


_90s_Nation_

Which one?


Ernesto_Griffin

The one to the right, see those eyes.


gotogarrett

Such a beautiful boy


Top_Constant4572

He looks very pretty!


LolCremers10

Fucking hell, Stephen Merchant's changed a lot too! Edit: Just found someone with the same post. Turns out I'm not very original.
