Ricky Gervais Relives This Epic Seona Dancing Days Pic With Us

If you know anything about Ricky Gervais, you know that he is obsessed with science and was once in a rock band called Seona Dancing while at University College London in the ‘80s.

Gervais himself — who is now obviously an award-winning comedian and actor among other things — called in to On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Friday, August 18, and recalled an epic photo of himself with former bandmate Bill Macrae — who also happens to look just like Robert Pattinson.

“I went to university to study biology and after two weeks I thought, ‘Hold on, I didn’t come to university to study, I came to join a rock band,’” Gervais recalled to OAWRS. “I was as thin as you, with great hair and a jaw bone … I tried to be cross between sort of David Bowie, Roxy Music and Tears For Fears and Japan — I wore makeup.”

As for his partner, AKA R. Patz, Gervais added: “That was Bill, my partner, he’s got hair extensions [there]. Soon after that photo was taken, I discovered beer and pizza.”

With his rockstar days long behind him, Gervais is next set to embark on the U.S. leg of his Humanity stand-up tour. 

“It’s my favorite show so far,” Gervais shared. “I’ve been away for 7 years and I think I’m getting good now. It takes 15 years to get good … I think I’ve found a voice and I’ve got old peoples right so I can really say what's on my mind. I really don’t care what people think," he added. "It talks about humanity broadly … I touch on important stuff, but in a stupid comedic way.”
