‘Muppets Most Wanted’ actor Ricky Gervais has revealed what its like to work with Kermit and Miss Piggy, adding that he’d “do anything” as long as a frog was involved.

Ricky’s interesting list of things he’d do with an amphibian friend even includes going to war. Right…

“I’d do anything with a frog. I’d go to war,” he explains. “If you’ve got an evil russian frog next you, you can do anything.”

However while Ricky and Kermit were best pals on the film’s set, the 52-year-old actor did have a few issues getting on with diva Miss Piggy.

“Off screen as well, we bonded over our shared dislike of a pig,” he adds. “She’s a nightmare.”

Miss Piggy and Kermit stole the show at the movie’s LA premiere earlier this week, arriving in a huge SUV which was being driven by Rowlf the Dog.

Ricky, who plays the evil Dominic Badguy in the movie, and Tina Fey were left in the shade as they made their own boring arrivals in cars driven by regular chauffeurs. Yawn.

Even Ricky’s numerous selfies and impressive high kicks couldn’t steal the spotlight from the stars of the show.

The ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ soundtrack track-listing was recently revealed and the puppets have roped in plenty of their A-list pals to appear on the album, including Celine Dion and Lady Gaga.

‘Muppets Most Wanted’ is in cinemas in the UK from 28 March, but we’ve got an exclusive clip from the film that you can check out below...
