Stephen Fry and the Saddest Marriage in History

Elliott obviously has a thing for older men and Stephen is just happy he can live out what he couldn't when he was younger. No one's getting hurt, so I don't mind.

The husband wouldn't look so young if he got rid of that teenage mop on his head. But I guess that would kill the fantasy they agreed upon when they got together.

I have a friend that is 25 years younger. It is limited, though, because we have greatly different interests and experiences. I don’t know about Hogwarts, and he doesn’t know about Dunkirk. Conversation is limited, so, so is the relationship.

I don’t know how this guy does it.

That hair. Sherioshly?

God I had completely forgotten this was a thing. Life was so blissful.

Intellectual doesn't equal emotional maturity. He's a self admitted mess.

Nobody minds private fantasies. The thing is, they look fucking miserable. Nobody can persuade me that Elliott is in it for love, I mean, look at his face. Three Jesuses can stand between them, the way they hug. And Stephen's levels of denial must be approaching Alpha Centauri by now.

OP, like R5 said, he's a mess of depression and I think substance abuse. He had his prostate removed due to cancer so God knows what that did to whatever his sex life was like.

He may just be happy for companionship, even with another tragedy in at home hairstyling.

Who knows how well the marriage is working, but damn OP, “pseudo-underage”? The man is 32 years old.

They always look so awkward. He is a crap sugar baby. Smile!

Well, dollar-store Liza Minelli there can hardly be helping his depression, is what I say. Jeeves deserves better

They'll be married five years in January. Hardly a hit and run.

OP So agree, always been a strange situation. At least Fry hasn't attempted suicide for a few years now, a nice change

I somehow wish he and Laurie would finally discover that they were made for each other all along and disappear into the sunset.

When I see the two of them together, I am reminded of Mrs. Merton's question to Debbie McGee, "So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"

I'm shocked it's lasted this long.

Without even going into the WTF aspect of that coupling, isn't the whole point of being rich also being able to purchase good looking trophy wives/husbands? That twink looks rather unfortunate.

Are they still based in LA? I seem to recall they moved there because the boyfriend wanted to pursue a career in acting?

R17 I thought he was a comic?

R18 Well comedy work then, I just recall the reason given was for the boyfriend to find work.

Well, Fry's latest tweets were from Liverpool, so he's definitely in England. My guess is that they are de facto separated, with the hubby waving his ass freely around in LA. I also think that Fry can find a better deal - he has the dough, and is really charming too.

R20 When he isn't trying to kill himself

[R21] I really wouldn't joke about depression and suicide. Or call someone's suffering "tiresome".

R22 But he is Blanche, he is fucking tiresome. He has been the public place of his depression for decades, but yet he is still a complete emotional basketcase, he is a fucking trainwreck and needs to stop trying to kill himself, it is just stupid

R23 well, I'm glad that you're so well off that you can look down on us depressives with calm disgust as you do, but Stephen Fry's openness about his problems has made me feel a bit less of a freak and less alone and even a touch better about myself and my miseries. So there. You're better than us, of course, and sorry to tire you so, but really, there you are.

I love you, R3. x

I hate. HATE. The young husband’s hair. Hate it.

Hate.

caregiver?

Honestly, R27, it's soooo Pete Wentz circa 2004. And it looked ridiculous back then!

R24 Yawn, I have never found the antics of the mentally ill one bit amusing. And Fry, who admits to not taking meds gets suicidal, and then talks about how he was suicidal is a fucking idiot, take ya meds bozo. I am not responsible for his, or your mental health. We are all responsible for ourselves and our own heads. Care for yourself.

And I really hope you don't pull that guilt shit with your family....

R30 wow. You don't have any problems, mate, no, none at all lol

I didn't realize that Fry was some sort of exhibitionist depressive. As an actor, I've never found him very versatile and he seems rather hammy and obvious in comic roles. The twink seems to be getting uglier as he gets older, so they have that in common. I'm sure it's going South, though.

Fry and his autistic grandson

OP is a sad creep

Stop it, I love the Fry. There are rarely people like him among the so-called celebrities. Appreciate him and stop being so cynical. And yes, I know where I am

R36 You love the Fry. I used to love the Fry. His stuff from the 80s was clever and wise.

But all that changed a decade ago when he became such an appalling, undisciplined, exhibitionistic, SJW, Professional Victim, Super-Luvvie!

He tried to lose weight but looks as ghastly as a deflated balloon.

A gentleman keeps his whores private.

R37 well, I disagree completely. I have never seen him in this light at all. And SJW is not an insult in my book. Long live the Fry!

R40 'Bulkier Physique'??? bwhaahah the fat cunt

His lover is Chad Rogers from Million Dollar listing Los Angeles, right?

Sadly, pre-nups aren't honored in Britain, otherwise Fry could ditch that little freak for a newer model.

The bulky pictures are old, he's lost over 35kg now. I really like this idea to listen to audiobooks while walking. Has anyone tried it? Never listened to an audiobook in my life tbh.

^ Never listen to an audiobook while you're walking near traffic! You will be run over.

I'm still annoyed that they missed the opportunity to have him appear on Hugh Laurie's show 'House'. Even in a bit part as an annoying patient.

Really, aren’t some of Henry VIII’s more viable candidates for this title? As much as we would like to “off with his head” this twink to never see that hairdo again.

R46 I remember him talking about that, and suggesting he should've played a doctor who was even more knowledgeable and better than House, which I thought showed quite a bit of ego on Fry's part, and why I could imagine Laurie never promoted the idea

R48, I wanted him to appear as the new head of the hospital and/or Cuddy's new squeeze.

Do we think Mr. Fry hangs dong? x

R48 this wasn't Fry's idea or personal hubris. The idea of the creators was that he should've played the Mycroft to House's Holmes (as you know, House was based on Sherlock Holmes). Pity it didn't happen. But I love the idea of him playing an annoying patient more. Now that would've been hilarious!!

When lesbians protested in the UK at the front of Pride, Fry said they were disgusting. Lesbians protesting that they were adult human females who were same sex attracted. Apparently Fry thinks they should just accept the girl dick and stop being so transphobic. Lesbians are now being told that they are not welcome at Pride. In the UK, we're having to fight for gay rights all over again. I remember the '70's and how hard the fight was. I never thought we'd have to fight again. And there's a gay man fully supporting the erasure of lesbians because chicks with dicks are more important.

R52 He should shut up unless that young twink of his is a "gay man with a vagina"

I am sorry but I will never consider a human with a dick a woman, or a human with a vagina a man. I have nothing against Trans people, but they are different from Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals. Their "issues" are completely different.

Imagine what they look like naked?

R54 No.

Quite cute here:

Throwback: 2017 -

Didn't they met on a project where the kid was still a kid? The relationship reminds me of how pets start to resemble their owners. Neither seem to really bother with a hair comb at home apparently.

R56 No, ferret face is not

^ Face obscured by hair and shadow.

I'm not sure why people think that someone looking old and haggard automatically means their spouse is "aging" them or whatever.

In Fry's case, he's on meds which can age him, he probably has several health issues at this point, and he's British. The British, as God and science have taught us, age like balls.

Their marriage is hilariously wrong but I suspect Fry would look as bad as he does now even without a sketchy husband.

R46 I'm still annoyed that Hugh Laurie appeared on that show called 'House'.

A Englishman faking another nation's ugly accent is, AFAIC, equivalent to "Blackface".

They act like the gay couple in an early '90s sitcom.

Fry comes off as an ignorant fool sometimes. He got a lot of deserved criticism for writing an article where he claimed that women don't like or enjoy sex. He likes to think of himself as being extremely intelligent, but his rambling often reveals him to be the type of person that dull, unintelligent people think of as being bright, witty and well-informed.

And the much older Fry is actually better looking than his thirtysomething partner.

I’m struggling to see what Mrs Fry brings to the marriage. Stephen could do so much better.

Only the two of them knows what holds them together.

Sorry, had to

His husband would look better with a haircut.

That younger husband is either wearing a wig or has the second most elaborate combover ever.

Papa can you hear me? Papa can you feel me?

I love Fry as an actor, but he's the kind of person who likes to hear himself talk, if you know what I mean. Even when I agree with him I get "too long; didn't read" fatigue.

He's a boring old blowhard, Old white men always just assume everyone wants to hear their opinion about everything. They literally talk right over you. R52, just ignore the old fart like you would a crotchety uncle at a family gathering.

His ex now looks like a man. I wonder if he's dating within his own generation.

I'm sure Stephen could have found someone better, he looks like the one who had to settle for less than optimum.

Which is the bottom?

Fry doesn't go for sodomy.

Well, by the interest in this thread, they should could consider launching their lives as a reality Tv show.

[quote] Didn't they met on a project where the kid was still a kid?

No, that was the ex at r74; they first met doing an audiobook where Fry was Winnie-the-Pooh and his later lover was Christopher Robin. Funnily enough, that relationship seemed healthier than his current one.

Steven Webb wasn't a kid. He was about 27 but he still played teens, IIRC.

r79

No, I was talking about their first interaction; then they met again a decade later and became a couple.

Oh my god, if I had his voice and his pronunciation, I'd love to hear myself talk too. I could listen to him read old newspapers all day and I'd go into ecstasy. Really beautiful voice!

Wasn’t Stevie Webb openly dating James Graham at the same time he was Fry’s “boyfriend”?

R82, whaat?? Source please?

If this is true, it begs the question why Stephen Fry has such a low self-esteem and settles for creeps and users.

Hell, he even managed to charm Orlando Bloom. And in that Hobbit makeup too.

Overlaps are not unusual in relationships. Is Webb still with Graham?

I don’t know. I had a huge crush on SW at the time and assumed he was with JG because they were all over each other on Twitter and constantly attending events together looking coupley. Then out of nowhere it was announced SW was dating Fry. But they were still acting coupley for months after that.

JG wrote a play that was on at the Donmar and Broadway about being brutally dumped by a boyfriend and per interviews he’s been single and not even dated since then. Possibly SW dumped him for Fry but it appears there was overlap and that Fry didn’t mind his boyfriend being all over another’s guy.

R64 I think all those years as the moderator of QI went to his head. But, it is easy to appear smart when you have all the answers.

WOw, R85, that's interesting! Thanks for the info, I guess. But wasn't SW in another JG play at the time, something about a family that represented British society or smthg? He played the student, I think? Maybe that's why they were so close. Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that they were lovers too.

r64 What he said was that women don't WANT sex AS MUCH AS men, for which no criticism was deserved as this is a scientific fact any which way you look into it. Just look at the frequency of sex in gay, hetero and lesbian relationships. I'm guessing everyone here knows the results.

R64, R88, he actually wrote a lovely explanation of the Women Don't Enjoy Sex misunderstanding in his blog, under the title Silliness:

He’s a very uninteresting person who thinks he’s a very interesting person.

[QUOTE]He got a lot of deserved criticism for writing an article where he claimed that women don't like or enjoy sex

Worse than that. It was an interview, and when it was published and he got backlash, he tried to blame the reporter for mis-quoting him. Fortunately his attempts to slur the journalist were prevented, because the whole interview had been recorded. Hence the new version of his story, linked to by R89, where he basically tried to put the blame on the reporter for not reading his mind.

He also defended MPs during the MPs expenses scandal, asking who hasn't fiddled their expenses? Especially egregious given most of his work has been done with the BBC, so he was basically admitting to screwing over licence-fee payers.

To quote Julie Birchall, he's a stupid person's idea of what an intelligent person is like.

^ Anyone involved with the duplicitous BBC is a Luvvie.

Long ago and far away, I would have been the sort of person to declare that it's quite possible, regardless of their age difference, the two of them could genuinely be in love with each other.

I'm glad I'm much wiser now.

Fry was also very vocal how unbecoming the investigation of a pedophile network was after Saville's death where totally innocent people get accused of pedophilia like in some ill-advised witch hunt.

R94 To be honest, I've always side-eyed Fry over just how often the topic of pedophilia pops up in his work. Especially one novel in particular which goes into extraordinary detail about how one would download child porn without being traced. The book was published around the same time as quite a few celebs were arrested for possession of child porn, with their common defence being they downloaded it for research purposes. That entire section of the book felt like an attempted defence in waiting.

Fry should have stayed in America.

The twink looks like some old punk rocker. Johnny Thunders maybe?

I dreamt a few nights ago Stephen Fry ate me out. I didn't delude myself into thinking I was attractive or that he was in his right mind. I thought it was flattering but that he must have been in an altered state because he ate me out on the wrong end.

Me . o O (Did I wash there? Should I tell him I don't remember washing there?)

I've never understood rich men who like to show off their whores. If I were rich, yeah, I'd pay hot young men to entertain me. But I'd never delude myself into thinking we were a real couple.

[quote] I've never understood rich men who like to show off their whores. If I were rich, yeah, I'd pay hot young men to entertain me. But I'd never delude myself into thinking we were a real couple.

Then I don't think you understand the concept of showing off in the first place. People like to show off their most prized possessions (dang! You money got you t his? I'm impressed) and that includes the hot piece they bang either as main course or on the side to receive their peers' approval, admiration, envy, etc.

Stephen is bipolar and being in a relationship with one is enough to do one's head in, believe me.

They look like a father and son, in the worst way possible. That mop headed guy looks like he's ready to run, if he hasn't already.

Just because SF is famous and academically clever, doesn't mean he doesn't have emotional issues that keep him tied to this messy mess looking situation.

SF has always been an idiot.

R98, IS there a wrong way of eating someone out?? 😂

R98 Scrotal threats unhorse a question of flowers

I asked for answers and got a headful of heroin in return

When time fell wanking to the floor, they kicked his teeth

My body disgusts, damp grease wafts sweat balls

From sweat balls and thigh fungus

A girl strips in my mind

Squeezes my last pumping drop of hope and

Rolls me over to sleep alone

R104: Jeez, but that’s DARK.

R105 what do you expect. I'm an English teacher, not a homosexual

R104= Dark Lesbians?

R106 Are those the same fens and spinneys in which Morgan Forster lurked?

If he would just take his bipolar meds on a regular basis, he would have a much happier life and maybe wouldn't need to cling on to a failing relationship.

I can't comment on whether it's a 'failing relationship' but it's an awful-looking relationship.

He was grotesquely fat last year and now he looks grotesque and thin.

I can't stand the sight of Mr. Fry these days, but I do find his writing to be quite amusing. I recommend his "Mythos" and "Heroes" books.

R109 where are you getting your inside information on when he takes his meds, pray tell?

R109 Because he talks about going off his meds and then trying to kill himself. he did it during that awful documentary he did on gay life world wide.

He actually did a documentary where he talked to people with bipolar and he proclaimed that he does not take his meds.

R114, that was over 10 years ago and since then he has stated many many many times that he's taking meds and that he thinks everyone with similar problems should. Update your info before writing please
