Middle Age Hollywood

Stephen Fry was on Radio 4's Front Row tother day promoting his new memoir and was asked if he'd ever crushed upon a certain toff.




Mark Lawson: You answer in the book a question I've never thought about really. It's an obvious one once you raise it, but you say you have never ever felt any erotic stirrings towards Hugh.

Stephen Fry: Yes.


Mark Lawson: You also suggest that your relationship would've been impossible if you had.


Stephen Fry: I think it would've been pretty embarrassing. I mean, you don't get much straighter than Hugh...you do get benter than me, but not by much. It would've been, I think, pretty odd. I doubt I would've kept it from him.


Mark Lawson: Did he ever ask?


Stephen Fry: No...no, I don't think he did. That's a very good point. He is a very good looking man, he's very handsome, and a lot of people find him deeply attractive I know – I've seen some of the mail he gets, it's extraordinary. So...it was good. But it was a love affair of another kind, and I think that's rather wonderful. It was a collaborative love affair if you like.
