Ricky Gervais ‘not proud’ to be rich

Call it false modesty, but mega-wealthy Ricky Gervais swears he’s uncomfortable with the bundles he’s made from his smash hit, “The Office.” The Brit comic was so proud of the show that, when the first check came in, “it ruined it a bit,” Gervais tells Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes” this Sunday. “I am not proud of being rich.” Gervais, who was raised poor in a UK housing project and now has a $6 million London home a $2 million New York pad, cracked that he still fears being called out by wealthy British society: “I still think they are waiting for me to pick up the wrong fork.”
