Stephen Fry’s first post on his new blog has shown him to be
something of a geek. Let’s hope he shares some gossipy tit bits about his theatrical life, as well as describing how he copes with depression.
I find Stephen Fry a totally fascinating man, I would love to have dinner with him, to fall under the spell of his hypnotic voice.
I walked by a restaurant in Burnham Market last year and saw him dining with friends. He looked so magnificent, they were enthralled by his every word, and I was rooted to the spot watching his body language, the way he was so entertaining and being admired.
His first post had the content of a double page newspaper spread. I hope this will be followed by some short and sweet literary revelations.
A magnificent man – a typical tortured genius.
I shall be adding that to the must read list.
Yeah, I saw him outside Trinity College (and St John’s) last week filming the new serial ‘Kingdom’
I like him tremendously but he cost me my 15 minutes of fame. I was due to appear on Radio 4’s Today programme when he did his disappearing act and I got bumped of the running order. (Not that I’m bitter)
Hypocentre, that must have been really disappointing, what were you going to be interviewed about?
I am glad to see that my fellow bloggers are also devotees of Stephen Fry.
The interview was about an earthquake (I forget where). Diana’s butler Paul Burrell got me bumped of News24 on another occasion when he was acquitted of theft. I have to make do with an appearance on TVAM at stupid o’clock one morning when no-one was watching.
[…] Hat tip to Ellee Seymour for bringing this to my attention… […]
he has often been seen in the market town of Swaffham where hes been filming kingdom… they even used my friends house in the filming….
Thanks for telling us about this, Ellee. I, too, “must read” it!
If I bump into Stephen Fry in Norfolk again, at least I can ask him about his iPod, and any other new gadgets he has since acquired.
Thanks for the heads up Ellee. A perfectly delightful chap and I’ll be happy to check out his blog.
The only people I’ve met who know about Xerox PARC are geeks. Sadly, most of us don’t have the wit of Stephen Fry.
