The comedian, who scooped the Best Television Comedy award for Extras at Sunday's Golden Globes, said he has more respect for US cinema.
He said: "I was offered all kinds of films. Half of them were English so that's a no. The English just aren't good at making films.
"It goes from gritty gangster films to everyone acting like something out of Jane Eyre. I don't want to be a part of those things."
He also criticised the calibre of celebrities in the UK, saying: "There are loads of awful TV actors - we've only got about three real film stars. And we are riddled with people you see popping up on UK Gold or The Graham Norton Show or coming out of a club pissed."
