Star of The Office Ricky Gervais is to make a surprise appearance in Rockstar's forthcoming epic video game Grand Theft Auto IV.
The comedian will appear within Liberty City's comedy club, complete with new material specially written by Gervais himself.
Speaking to London magazine Shortlist, Gervais said: "It's a first - which always interests me. It was shot in New York, my favourite place in the world, and I got to wear a tight lycra suit as part of the digital process. No, hold on, that wasn't so good.
"Unfortunately they captured the whole horror, except I look slightly tougher. It's seriously a big deal, though. Games have outsold Hollywood for the past few years so it's nice to be a small part of that."
Gervais also hinted that he appears elsewhere in the game, but refused to reveal exactly when and where.
Grand Theft Auto IV will be released on April 29 for PS3 and Xbox 360.
