Ricky Gervais already knows how the 2016 Golden Globes are going to go.

Apparently the funny man has been told he can ‘say whatever I like again’ at this year’s Golden Globes, so he has apologised in advance for ‘not giving a f***’ and being seriously offensive. Oh lord help us. Well, not us. Those poor, defenceless celebs. No wait, this is going to be a LOT of fun.

The ceremony takes place on January 10 and Ricky has already pre-empted ruffling a few feathers with this tweet:

Because I can see the future, I'd like to apologise now for the things I said at next week's Golden Globes. I was drunk & didn't give a fuck — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) January 1, 2016

So if you’re planning on watching this year’s show with your nan, don’t. Unless she’s as potty-mouthed as The Office star.




He came under fire in the past for his scathing (but hilarious) jokes about Justin Bieber’s paternity scandal and various other celebrity bigwigs. He later said he never wanted to be talked into hosting the show again.

But the powers of persuasion were clearly strong as he’s signed up once again.

‘I said no but they kept trying to persuade me,’ he wrote in his blog. ‘I just thought it was a headache I didn’t need. They eventually won through attrition, flattery and generosity. Oh, they also said I can say whatever I want again. I’m glad I said yes now and I’m really looking forward to it.’

Who’ll feel the wrath of Ricky’s tongue this time we wonder?
