Celeb Beef: Simon Pegg vs. Ricky Gervais
Is Simon Pegg taking the title of his latest film How To Lose Friends And Alienate People a bit too far? He recently launched a few barbs at his fellow countryman Ricky Gervais on a British radio show.
Speaking on the Jamie Theakston and Harriet Scott show on Heart FM, Pegg was asked
whether he - like Gervais - was feeling the pressure of the LA lifestyle.
Instead of responding in his usually mild-mannered style, he said: ‘He says a lot of things, that man. He said there’d been no good British films since 1950. What an idiot.’
He then continued:
‘If you go to LA, you can get sucked into that.
‘I’ve seen people go there and suddenly become rake thin because there is a slight pressure on you to be thin. I’ve also seen a lot of fat people there.’
When the topic of Gervais’s portly figure was later brought up, Simon rubbed salt into the wounds by adding: ‘He’s one of the fat people in LA, yes.’
Damn, Simon! What did Ricky ever do to you? The Daily Mail was surprised that Simon went there unprovoked, because Ricky hadn’t been saying nasty stuff about Simon, but he just might start now. Or maybe this is just a bit of that British humor that Americans have so much trouble comprehending?
