Ever the troublemaker, Ricky Gervais has retweeted a video from the second series of The Office - where his character David Brent makes a quip about alopecia.
‘Welcome to Alcoholics Anonymous!’ Brent says after buying three pints in the pub.
While Gervais himself didn’t add any caption alongside his post, his followers have found it to be amusing nonetheless.‘I’ve been checking @rickygervais’s Twitter, waiting for his take on last night’s drama. And find this,’ wrote one. ‘Sums up his position nicely.’ Others, however, condemned joking about alopecia. ‘It’s one thing to make fun of the disease but another to pick on one specific real-life person who has the disease,’ one stated.
