Is that you, Ricky Gervais? ‘Embarrassed’ comedian’s former 80s pop star career resurfaces

Ricky Gervais was a rising pop star before pursuing a career in comedy.

The 62-year-old British comedian actually broke out as a singer in the 1980s, forming a band called Siona Dancing.

The “Office” star formed the pop duo with friend Bill McCray in 1983 during his senior year at University College London.

At that time the duo were signed by London Records and even released two tracks: “More to Lose” and “Bitter Heart.”

In a resurfaced video, Gervais can be seen singing his heart out in ’80s style while McCray plays the piano.

“Annual reminder that Ricky Gervais once performed a potential New Romantic classic in front of a group of grade schoolers,” an account called “Terribly Awesome Covers” captioned the jaw-dropping clip.

Some fans were shocked by this revelation – and, naturally – took to the comments section.

One viewer sighs, “It’s so sad that his trajectory has ended up where he is now.”

Another joked: “This is simultaneously the most offensive and most interesting thing I’ve ever done!”

Someone wrote, “This could be a dream sequence from ‘The Office’.”

Another fan shouted: “What the fuck?! 😩🔥😭I never knew this until now!”

“You know, he kind of pulls it off. Right in the crowd,” one person added.

“He’s got some Bowie swagger,” another viewer wrote, referencing the late David Bowie.

Bowie – who died in January 2016 aged 69 – also made a cameo in one of Gervais’s TV series.

The “After Life” star created the 2005 British sitcom “Extras,” and Bowie guest-starred as himself in an episode.

Gervais previously spoke about his love of music during a 2016 conversation with Graham Norton on his talk show of the same name.

“I hide a song in everything I do. I wrote a song for ‘The Simpsons,’ I wrote a song for ‘Extras’ with David Bowie. I’m a frustrated, failed musician,” he joked at the time.

When a photo of his time with Siona Dancing came up on the screen, the funny man couldn’t stop himself from laughing at his past.

“It’s called Siona dancing, let’s move on. I’m not ashamed of it [the throwback picture]I am ashamed [my current look], Everyone is saying, ‘What happened?’ I’ll tell you what happened: Pizza happened,” Gervais quipped.
