Larry David has claimed that he would be happier if he was more like the fictionalised version of himself that he plays in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The writer and actor told The Guardian that he appreciates the honesty of the character and also did not originally think that the show would make people uncomfortable.

David said: "I don't find the character to be cranky or rude. I find the character to be honest. And honesty comes off as cranky or rude, I suppose.

"But that character is way happier than I am. I'm cranky. He's not cranky. I'd be much happier if I were more like him."

He added: "I never thought for a second that anything I ever did was going to make someone cringe. That never occurred to me. When people started to tell me that sometimes they had to leave the room, I didn't even know what they were talking about.

"I thought people would want to stay and watch it. Because it's funny. Not that it's so painful to them that they have to leave. But, you know, I don't mind that. I kinda like it."
