LONDON -- Any devoted followers of Ricky Gervais' Twitter feed will be more than familiar with the British comedian's unique brand of selfie.

Nestled among the photos of his cat Ollie and the occasional shot of him playing tennis are images of Gervais gurning spectacularly in the bath, pictures of him sprawled half naked on his bed, and -- perhaps our favourite of all -- various photos he's posted in response to news sites and magazines tweeting about which celeb has had the "best look" of the week (Gervais' favourite thing to do is respond with a pic of himself, usually topless, coupled with the question, "Was it me?").

Nothing we write here will really do the selfies justice, so we won't waffle on any longer. Just be warned, though: the images featured beyond this point are not for the faint of heart.

Sadly there wasn't room to feature all of the selfies Ricky has posted over the years, but here's a nice compilation of some of the others courtesy of the man himself.

Finally, here's a bonus video of what we assume is Ricky's audition to play the next James Bond.

We don't know about you, but we think they should probably give him the part.
