The British comic star insists he is happy with the size of his genitals, even though he only has an "average sized" penis.
He said: "I'm not worried about it, if you saw me naked you wouldn't go, 'Jesus that's the smallest penis I've ever seen', you wouldn't have to squint. You'd say there's a normal bloke, he's 5ft 8ins and he's got a normal size penis, everything in proportion.
"Testicles are on the large size though!"
Despite admitting his private parts are relatively unimpressive, the 47-year-old star added he has no desire to change them.
He joked: "I'd look weird with a foot long k**b wouldn't I? It'd be ridiculous, also I'd faint if I got an erection as all the blood would be in there, its fine, its fine, really its average."
Ricky also revealed he fears his father may have been drunk when he filled out his birth certificate due to the unusual spelling of his name.
He explained to James Lipton during an interview on US TV show 'Inside The Actor's Studio': "I was christened Ricky. Ricky Dene Gervais, and Dene is spelt Dene and my mum says my dad was drunk when he filled it out, I don't know if that's true, the chances are he was."
