Ricky Gervais reveals shocking Golden Globes 2025 speech – despite quitting four years ago
Share:
Ricky Gervais has revealed a shocking monologue ahead of the Golden Globe Awards. The comedian last presented the award ceremony four years ago and left the star-studded audience completely speechless. His last monologue saw him take aim at Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio for famously dating women in their twenties. He also referenced convicted child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein and actors in Hollywood taking drugs.
But while Ricky has recently stepped back from his role of host, he's now revealed how he would open the awards if he were responsible. This year, hosting duties fall to US comedian, Nikki Glaser, who has also expressed her concern over being cancelled after her debut.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Ricky has revealed that once again, he wouldn't hold back. He told his 14.9 million followers on Elon Musk's platform: "Sat in the bath wondering about what I would say if I were hosting The Golden Globes on Sunday. It's been a pretty good year for material.".
He went on to say: "Hello, and welcome to the 82nd Golden Globe awards. What a year it's been. Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance to go to The Vatican to meet The Pope. Many from Hollywood. " In a follow-up post, The Office star said: "Justin Timberlake was convicted of Drink Driving. If he'd have gone to jail he'd have heard the words 'Sexy Back' a lot more often.".
Fans have since responded to Ricky's posts, which have been viewed collectively over 13,500,000 times, about a potential return and it appears he hasn't ruled it out completely. When asked how much the awards would have to pay him to host again, Ricky responded: "Free if they do it in Hampstead. Otherwise, $2 million." But Ricky previously revealed that he had instructed the glitzy awards event not to ask him back.
