Ricky Gervais will skip the Golden Globes next month despite being nominated for an award because it's "too far to go".
The 64-year-old comedian lives in London with his partner Jane Fallon and he's decided not to travel to Los Angeles for the ceremony on January 11 - where's he nominated in the best stand-up category - because it's a long way and he'd prefer to remain on his sofa at home watching Netflix with Jane and the cat.
