If there’s one person who isn’t afraid of offending everyone in the room – including his employers – it’s Ricky Gervais.
The comedian – who let rip on the room as host of the recent Grammy Awards – is urging Chris Rock to take no prisoners when he presents the upcoming Oscars.
Rock, 50, is under pressure to boycott the bash after the Academy was slammed for a lack of diversity in the nomination list for next month’s ceremony – but Gervais has urged him to use the live platform to his advantage.
If I were @chrisrock, I wouldn't be considering boycotting The Oscars. I'd be thinking "this shit is live. I can do some serious damage."

His tweet comes hours after it was revealed Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith have declined their invites to attend the ceremony.
