According to The Guardian, Ricky Gervais has scored a major guest for his BBC2 series Life’s Too Short– Johnny Depp!
Johnny Depp is reportedly going to make a guest appearance in Ricky Gervais’s BBC2 sitcom Life’s Too Short – and while the cameo remains unconfirmed for the moment, it’s an idea that may not come as a great surprise to anyone with a passing interest in either men. The torrent of A-listers who graced Extras proved that Gervais isn’t afraid to shamelessly mine his book of Hollywood contacts for a flashy cameo. And, Depp is a man who proved his love of British comedy by appearing in the final episode of The Fast Show. On paper, at least, it sounds like a match made in heaven.
The series, which is also expected to air on HBO in the U.S. later this year, begins filming on location in England in May. The show will follow “a conceited and egomaniac dwarf who runs a talent agency for fellow showbiz dwarfs”. Gervais has described it as a cross between Extras and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
We can’t wait to see Gervais and Depp together, even if it’s only on the small screen!
