Both for his comedic genius and for his participation as an activist for animal rights. Gervais isn't one to shy away from giving the world his opinion, especially when it comes to the safety and the treatment of animals across the world. You're proud of the the time that he devotes to make sure that justice is served for those who treat animals badly, especially poachers. You might not like his frequent use of the C word, but for people who are hunting animals for sport, there's not a lot of words that sum them up so perfectly... It's nice to have Gervais on your side.
