• Question about karl pilkington

Is this guy playing a character? I mean he is really funny but I was always wondering if he is like this all the time.
Pretty sure it's his actual personality. I think Ricky responded to this saying how it's nonsense that people are saying that it's fake but I can't find the quote. Or at least the personality isn't their creation. Actually here it is from Wikipedia: "Merchant and Gervais have repeatedly denied claims that Pilkington's comic persona is their creation. In an on-air response to similar claims made by Chris Campling during a broadcast on XFM, Merchant stated that he would be "ashamed" if the radio show was scripted, and added that "I would not have squandered a character that good on this poxy radio station".[9] Gervais concurred, pointing out that writing a single series' worth of half-hour episodes of shows such as The Office and Extras took the two of them up to a year to write. An interviewer for The Daily Telegraph concluded that Pilkington's persona is genuine.[10]" Real or fake it honestly doesn't bother me, he comes with crazy shit nonetheless.
Yeah. Thanks a lot mate.
Gervais also said something similar about how "if Karl was my own creation, I wouldn't be giving him to sky" although I'm paraphrasing here.
He is 100% like that.
