Actor-comedian Ricky Gervais finds it hard to lose weight as he cannot cut wine out of his diet.

The 55-year-old star made a conscious effort to live more healthily after he hit his mid-40s, but has revealed that his weight-loss efforts have been hampered by his love for wine, reported Femalefirst.

"I was always thin growing up until I'm 30, and those were my eating years, and then at 40 I remember it was one Christmas I ate 11 sausages and I was saying to Jane (his girlfriend), 'I'm having a heart attack'.

"I sort of gave up meat to try to be healthier, but with me it's the wine. I don't want to stop drinking wine. I'd be quite happy (if you) just put me in a bucket full of wine just there, just watching (TV).
