Hilarious British comedian Ricky Gervais recently did an interview with GQ magazine that led to some breast-focused magic marker art. Gervais had a fantastic show called ‘Extras’ and is a big part of the hilarious adventure series ‘Idiot Abroad,' but he’s most well known for his big role in the British Office. This hysterical comedian’s interview shots feature the star topless with a seemingly poor new boob job.

In one of these shots, a grinning Gervais begins drawing on his bare chest and in another shot he poses semi-provocatively, puckering his lips with his hands placed behind his head. This odd-ball actor has a direct line to my funny bone.

These [breast humor photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign) really capture Gervais’ personality and sense of humor.
