From Monsters and Critics.com People News Ricky Gervais "feared" fame. 'The Office' star - who can currently be seen starring alongside Tea Leoni in 'Ghost Town' - never wanted to be a celebrity and can't understand why people actively seek stardom. He said: "I never craved fame, I feared it. People looking at me gave me the creeps. I always knew I'd hate that. "I despise people who would do anything to be famous. There is a difference between Robert De Niro and someone who wins 'Big Brother' and I want to be in the first count." Despite his massive success, Ricky star insists becoming famous worldwide hasn't changed his outlook on life. He added: "If I got too arrogant, my friends would say, 'Who do you think you are?' And what could I be arrogant about - that I'm rich? That's never been anything to be proud of. I grew up believing there was nobility in poverty."
