Ricky Gervais Approved ‘The Office’ Australia Having a Female Lead, Star Felicity Ward Says: ‘Just in Case Anyone Is Angry’
'The Office' Australia star Felicity Ward has reassured fans that Ricky Gervais approved a female lead and was 'excited' about it.
Felicity Ward, star of Australia’s forthcoming “The Office” adaptation, has reassured any concerned fans that Ricky Gervais personally approved her casting. Asked about how she was feeling about the show’s imminent release on Prime Video in Australia and the U.K. on Oct. 18, she said jokingly: “Pretty chill actually. After the audience watched a sneak peek, which involved Ward’s Howard hula hooping in the office (bashing someone on the head mid-hoop) and bringing up the ‘mile high club’ during a team-building exercise on boundaries, the actor shared: “It’s very strange playing a character where you’re supposed to make people cringe because you watch it like, urgh, that’s the design.”
