No point marrying Jane Fallon, says Gervais

Comedian Ricky Gervais doesn't see the point in marrying author Jane Fallon.

Gervais has been in a relationship with Fallon since 1984, but sees no point on walking down the aisle as they are married in all ways except from "in the eyes of God", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I just don't see the point. We share everything. I mean we are married, apart from in the eyes of God, which neither of us believe in. That's ridiculous, that law. I mean, how more married can we be?

"But we don't want a big do. We don't want our families to meet! No, I'm joking - we know each other's families, that's fine," Gervais told The Sunday Times magazine.

Gervais says that they have a "very normal life" and generally manage to avoid too many crazed fans.

"I live a very normal life... I live in Hampstead, and on the Upper East Side in New York, and in Beverly Hills when I'm in LA, where they see plenty of famous people. If I land in the sticks then it's probably a bit more hairy. I'd feel vulnerable on the Tube, but I never liked it anyway," he said.
