Stephen Fry is Looking Fabulous!!

Hugh Laurie’s BFF (Best Friend Forever) Stephen Fry was recently interviewed by Daily Mail where he revealed his new, svelt self. After turning himself into a regular visitor at his gym and changing his eating habits, he’s lost over 60 pounds. He looks wonderful, don’t you think?
But the interview covers much more about Fry than his fabulous weight loss. He also says that he would love to be able to play a guest part as a doctor alongside Hugh Laurie on House. I think that would be fantastic!!!

He’s made a few guest appearances on Bones, another FOX Network series, where he plays Dr. Gordon Wyatt. He plans to make more appearances in that role in the coming year as well.
Here’s what he had to say about his friendship with Hugh:
Fry acknowledges that his life changed when he met Hugh Laurie. ‘I knew he had this amazing comedy acting talent and would go far, but I could never have dreamed that we’d have a working partnership and lifelong friendship.
‘Hugh would pull funny faces and make us laugh, but all he wanted to do was to graduate and join the Hong Kong police. I suspect he rather liked the mental picture of himself in freshly ironed white shorts and shirts.
‘Because of that, he didn’t take acting seriously, but preferred to be the English silly ass rather than a cool James Bond type. We got deeper into the university’s Footlights revue, went on to do Blackadder and Saturday Night Live – and before we knew it, it was too late to turn back.’
I will seriously start to HATE David Shore and Kate Jacobs if they don’t give Fry a role in this season. Just a tiny guest appearence will do. A quick cameo. ANYTHING!
I mean, come on! This is to good to go to waste! D=
I agree with Lokun — give Stephen Fry a guest-shot on House! If R. Lee Ermey can play House’s father, there’s a place for Stephen Fry. Perhaps as a patient who is seen as a hypochondriac who pesters House to prove that he does have a problem. Or House’s step-brother, or uncle, he never knew about. I think he’d a be best as a comic-relief character, but Fry’s role in V for Vendetta shows he can play a serious role as well as Hugh Laurie can!
But please, please, please, if Hugh Laurie ever does Saturday Night Live again, let him get his own writers. I’ve seen him twice on SNL and I was extremely disappointed. It was BORING and not funny at all — typical of SNL.
Stephen looks so wonderful! He is such a good looking guy!!!
I love him!!!
I really believe that they ought to give Stephen Fry a part worthy of a real
specialits, who needs to enlist the help of “House’s” skills, since he himself came up against a blank wall in relation to a diagnosis…
because it is too personal to him it involves his son, that they are unable to diagnose, hey sounds like a good story line! I hope they will give him a try. I personally that if both parties played as if they did not know one another, that would add to the tension that is already in the scripts.
Give the guy a really good part, maybe something he can come on the show 3 or 4 times a year, because he is in someways connected to the staff.
Stephen Fry is looking well. He is looking well into the manic phse of his unmedicated bipolar illness. I wish the media & public would stop being so thick and see a man who will crash in a big way very soon. The rapid weight loss isn’t healthy; the incessant need to walk isn’t healthy; the ‘as many tweets’ as Obama isn’t healthy….it’s the mania manisfesting itself again & his friends need to be vigilant. He has been a near suicide before. Can’t people see what’s in front of them ? Or is OK becasue he makes them laugh ?
