Ricky Gervais creates his first ever TikTok as After Life series 3 hits Netflix
After Life series three has landed!
With Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely away this week, Tyler has been standing in for the boys on KISS Breakfast, where he was joined by funny man Ricky Gervais on Friday's show (14th January) to celebrate the release of the third and final series of his hit Netflix show After Life.
As well as talking about what fans can expect in the hugely-anticipated new series, here at KISS we got Ricky to take part in his FIRST EVER TikTok, so you really should keep on reading...
In case you've been living under a rock, After Life, which Ricky created, wrote, produced, directed and starred in, follows a middle-aged man called Tony who is left grieving for his late wife after she loses her battle with breast cancer.
Speaking about the show, Ricky told Tyler: "It is heartwarming, I think people will realise once they have seen all three series that it was a love story really, and I think the most important thing about it is hope."
Admitting his favourite thing to come from the show is that viewers can relate to the story, Ricky added: "After the first season people would come up to me in the street and say 'I've lost my brother or my husband' and you realise that everyone is grieving. I think we second guess too much as creators or broadcasters and wonder if the public can take it, but of course they can, real life is worse.
"Real life is like that, it's full of ups and downs, that's what it is. The number of people who've said 'Oh I was like Tony, I though I was going mad', but you know, you're not, it's totally normal to be angry when something happens that's not your fault, it's totally normally to be sad, it's totally normal to miss somebody you can't ever get back, and then I had to make it funny."
Now, he may be the king of Twitter, but it turns out 60-year-old Ricky isn't up to scratch on TikTok, admitting 'you don't need me on TikTok'.
Of course, we couldn't let Ricky leave KISS FM HQ without him creating his first ever TikTok, and TBF, the results are absolutely outstanding, even if he doesn't do much! 🤣
