Ricky Gervais has spoken out after reports of a confession that he's been drunk every day since the age of 18.
The Daily Star has published a report in which it details an admission from Gervais about his drinking habits.
It's mentioned that he said: "I was sober for 18 years – the first 18 years of my life. And I have been drunk every day since. There has not been a day when I haven't had a drink."
But the comedian has since taken to Twitter to denounce the entire claims and insist that it's all a pretence.
With the article detailing Gervais' journey with alcohol including his confidence, exercise and relationship with his father, the comedian further replied to a few of his followers and explained that the whole article was pieced together from past podcasts and stand-up material.
"Wasn't even an interview. They took bits from podcasts and stand up. So dishonest."

The funny man has previously revealed some plans for his upcoming projects, such as being commissioned by US network ABC for a game show titled Five to Survive, and a Netflix series in which he'll star as a suicidal man.
Gervais is also coming towards the end of a world tour – with shows still to perform in the UK and abroad until February.
