thedivinegoat_archiveBut I meant to ask.
Should Ricky Gervaise's Extras be considered Celebrity endorsed RPF?
He takes the celebrity's public persona, and several widely known "facts" and runs with them.
So you start with Ross Kemp always playing hard cases and supposedly being a bit of a hard man in real life, and end up with him lying about being trained by real SAS, and being bullied by Vinnie Jones and everyone else and thinking of committing suicide because he can't take any more.
And as I type that out I realise how unfunny that sounds. But believe me, it was hilarious. Especially as it doesn't take into account Nelson's hat.
Plus my respect for Ross Kemp rocketed.
