Ricky Gervais has been wearing the same black t-shirt for 20 years - and you'd hope that he gives it a wash from time to time.
Whether he's doing an on-stage set, appearing on a talk-show, or going to the gym, the comedian is always donning a black, often v-neck t-shirt.
Often, he'll be a little more adventurous and opt for a long-sleeved version, but apart from that, he loves black t-shirts more than Steve Jobs loves turtlenecks.
With a reported net worth of $160 million (£127 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth, you'd think that he'd be able to afford to switch things up from time to time.

However, The Office star has ironically explained why he has always dressed the same.
Taking to Instagram with a picture of him wearing a black t-shirt (again) he wrote: "When I was really poor, I got so fed up having only t-shirts and old sweat pants to wear that I tried to make a suit out of curtains.
"Now I can afford to wear anything I want. I could have suits made for me.
"But I decided I prefer t-shirts and old sweat pants."

Commenting on the admission, one fan quipped: "I made a suit out of a pair of curtains too, sometimes you just need to pull yourself together."
Many others went and thanked Gervais for what he does for animals, thinking it could explain why he appears to dress very sustainably.
Last year, the comedian donated £1.9 million to animal charities raised from ticket sales from his Armageddon world tour.
This comes after the stand-up has said, on many occasions, that he genuinely prefers animals to humans.
During a 2023 appearance on The One Show, he brought along his German Shepherd dog Anti, who appears in his emotional After Life Netflix series.

"Honestly, nothing breaks my heart more than pets being separated from their owners," he said.
"I can’t stand to think of an animal in discomfort, let alone hurt.
"Even the slightest bit of discomfort - I just can’t stand it. I want every animal to be as happy as Anti."
"They’re just better than people. No offence," he continued.

"They’re members of the family. They’ve got so much compassion. I mean, dogs do everything for us. They guard us, they guide us, they can smell cancer.
"They're incredible. You couldn't invent something as good as a dog. They’re amazing.
"And look at them, they're perfect. What’s not to love?"
