Ricky Gervais can't understand why celebrities live their lives like "open wounds".
The British comic actor - who can currently be seen in hit movie 'Ghost Town' - values his privacy and can't understand why some stars want to reveal every detail of their private lives.
He said: "There is something missing. It's sad when they bring out their second autobiography - like, 'Ooh! I forgot stuff!' I don't know why people want to live their lives like an open wound."
Ricky, 49, insists he was sceptical when he became famous, mostly because he did not want to have every aspect of his life raked over.
He added to Esquire magazine: "I came into it cynically, suspiciously, with dread, with embarrassment, all those things. "When you spend the first 36 years of your life laughing at sad, desperate wannabes, who are trying to find a shortcut to happiness, then you come into it with some self-awareness.
"They're not rapists and murderers, they don't need to have their lives ruined just because they're famous."
