Ricky Gervais has been paying tribute to Robin Williams, his late co-star in the Night At The Museum movies.

The British comic and actor told Graham Norton on his BBC chat show that Hollywood legend Williams was an "amazing, lovely man".

He said: "He was lovely all the time and never forgot to be the nicest person.

"If he had a second between takes, he would be entertaining the crew. He was an amazing, lovely man."

And Ben Stiller - appearing with Gervais on the show - said that the movie had become far more poignant in the wake of Williams tragic suicide.

"On set we felt it was going to be the last Night At The Museum so there was that awareness of it, but obviously we had no clue what was going to happen."

The full interview can be seen on The Graham Norton Show at 10.35pm on BBC One this evening. Rebel Wilson, Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx, Usher and Danny Dyer will also appear.

Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb opens in cinemas today.
