Stephen Fry and his young fiance. What. Are. You. doing Stephen?

[lyspaere]

just in here. Has he lost the plot totally.

Exactly! I mean, it's lovely that they're happy and all but I am extremely at the age gap and the fact they've not been seeing each other all that long.

What's the age gap? Thought SF was asexual?

I'm very pleased for them if they are happy - but I am yet to see a photo of the fiance looking happy.

Nerf the age gap is 30 years - SF is 57, his fiance is 27 (I think).

There was a picture of the fiance staring at Jimmy Carr with big eyes and a dreamy expression though.

It's.His.CHOICE. Don't be such bitches about it. It doesn't concern you.

They look all wrong together somehow.

Surely it is their choice, not just his.

Don't start twisting my words.

Aw I hope they are happy, I love Stephen Fry. His fiance does look a miserable bugger in all the photos I've seen, but maybe it's just 'resting bitch face', or he is pissed off that his photo is being taken.

Dh wondered if the attraction was SF's Bentley.....

I am deeply shocked because SF seems like such an intelligent man.....not saying he is not in love.....

.....I was just as shocked when Michael Douglas married Catherine Zeta Jones!

I hope they're really happy together

Oh FFS.

I'm 29 and I have met many an attractive man over 50 that I'd be happy to be in a relationship with.

(Sorry DP, but he's met them too and agrees that they are attractive/fun.)

Age is mostly meaningless now.
We are living in a time where 50 year old women are having babies, 30 year olds haven't moved out of mum and dads and nobody knows when 'middle aged' actually is anymore.

No fool like an old fool, eh

Yeh, I'm shocked also because I thought he was really intelligent. Oscar Wilde's downfall was similar!

So tell me, what exactly do you find attractive in the millionaire Stephen Fry?

(He may not be a millionaire, but I bet he's not short of a few bob!)

Age is not meaningless.

I thought it was photo of SF with Jake Bugg before I read the story.

If this was an older man with a younger trophy wife nobody would think twice about it.

Also, it's Stephen Fry. I find his witty repartee very attractive.

If he was a classically handsome man, again, would anybody question this?

yes

SF is clever, funny, engaging, erudite - these things can be attractive

Haha middleagedmotheroftwo you beat me to it

I don't like SF anyway, I find him unbearably smug and can't turn the channel fast enough when QI and its boys' club fnar fnar humour comes on the telly.

they'd question it less if he were at least handsome and in good shape. That's katie Hopkins shoot from the hip honesty I guess but there you go.

however, I find it harder to believe that a young gay man would be attracted to an ageing overweight man who was never attractive than I would find it to believe that a woman could be attracted to the personality of a man with that physicality. JMO

mrscumberbatch you're only 29 I see! I'm in my 40s and I've dated a man in his fifties who was in better shape than SF and tbh I got a bit of a shock when I saw him naked. I can only imagine a young 27 year old would have felt the urge to run from the room, screaming with his hands in the air shreiking help me help me there's a monster in there.

I'm being flippant. 50% flippant. 50 % deadly serious

apologies for using the word physicality. I've had a drink
