<p>Ricky Gervais has admitted that he thought he was losing his mind after his Golden Globes jokes provoked such a furore.</p>
<p>The funnyman, 49, who sparked controversy by delivering a string of near-the-knuckle jibes at the expense of shocked Hollywood A-listers in the audience, said the reaction led him to question whether he had gone too far.</p>
<p>But he wrote on his blog: &#8220;Thanks to the twitterverse, the blogosphere, all the journos and the coolest stars for coming to my rescue.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was heart-warming to realise I wasn&#8217;t losing my mind. Some reactions nearly had me believing I&#8217;d gone too far too. Nearly.</p>
<p>&#8220;Can&#8217;t wait for the people who thought it was over the top to see my stand-up shows. F*** me, they will s*** themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ricky posted a link to a video of the likes of actor Christian Bale, who called the comedian &#8220;fantastic&#8221; and &#8220;a genius&#8221; on the night, and Al Pacino, who said: &#8220;He&#8217;s a comic, so he&#8217;s going to go for it&#8230; if he censors himself he&#8217;s going to curtail his wit&#8230; it&#8217;s funny&#8221;, defending the star.</p>
<p>The defiant comic has previously defended his performance, saying: &#8220;I enjoyed the Globes more this year. I think I had better gags. More along the lines of the Mel Gibson one last year (when Ricky made a jibe about the film star&#8217;s drinking).&#8221;</p>
<p>He has dismissed speculation that he was told off by organisers when he disappeared during the ceremony, saying: &#8220;Obviously the rumour that the organisers stopped me going out on stage for an hour is rubbish.&#8221;</p>
