The 49-year-old comedian reveals the extreme security lengths he has taken to protect his house in the latest issue of US Esquire.
Gervais, who lives with long-term girlfriend Jane Fallon, says, 'It's like a giant panic room we've got.
'The whole house – you press a button and steel shutters come down on every window. I have good security. It's fundamental.
'And we’re in the nicest neighbourhood in London. You never know.
'I'm not paranoid, though. It's more to do with comfort, privacy, security. Fundamental.
'You can't enjoy your life if you're worrying about other things.'
