 Ricky Gervais tweeted some choice words after he spotted an article detailing injuries procured by a bullfighter on Tuesday. The 62-year-old comedian shared his strong feelings towards the Spanish sport on social media and expressed his distaste for the cultural tradition. Bullfighting is part of the country's heritage and involves a matador or bullfighter, battling the animal in a circular-shaped arena – plaza de toros – until the death of one of the challengers. However, the After Life actor proved he wasn't a fan of the traditional event in a tweet he shared with his 15million followers. Posting a link to an article by the DailyMail that outlined a horrific incident during which a bullfighter was 'gored in the rectum', the star added his own two cents on the headline. He emotively commented: 'Good. Hope you ruined your tights. Now stop torturing Bulls, you sadistic, sequinned, c**t.' Ricky posted his thoughts above the article on Twitter (Picture: @RickyGervais) The star was outraged over the Spanish tradition (Picture: Getty Images) Fans jumped to share their feelings on the star's words in the comment section and tweet Ricky back with fervour. One said: 'I'm amazed that bullfighting is still a thing. It's right up there with bull riding at rodeos. It had its day.' Another penned: 'Sometimes news is good and some news is bad. But this news is GREAT.' 'You know someone is cool as hell when you see a post & you absolutely love it & just by what they said on that one post you want to follow them & when go to follow them you not only see that you're already following them, but it's Ricky Gervais who wrote the post, now that's cool,' a user explained with enthusiasm. He expressed his distaste to his millions of followers (Picture: Getty Images) Ricky's tweet came after he revealed his joy at receiving a birthday shoutout from Glastonbury earlier this summer.
