"Ricky Gervais has confessed to a dislike of fame. Speaking to The Telegraph, the comedian explained why he wanted to &amp;quot;turn off&amp;quot; his celebrity status. &amp;quot;The worst thing about this job for me is the fame,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve never understood why anyone wants people to know who they are. That&amp;#039;s the thing I wish I could turn off.&amp;quot; The Office and Extras creator can next be seen in his first film leading role in David Koepp&amp;#039;s Ghost Town, released in cinemas on October 24. &amp;quot;When they asked me to do it, I said they had to make the character English because I don&amp;#039;t do accents,&amp;quot; said Gervais of his upcoming screen role. &amp;quot;I haven&amp;#039;t got time; and I don&amp;#039;t wear wigs either. No wigs, no prosthetics and no nudity: no-one wants to see me without my clothes on.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
