Stephen Fry, the quick witted butler in Jeeves and Wooster, and the 'Oxbridge educated' host of TV panel quiz game QI, has gone missing again, fuelling speculation that, this time, he may be gone for good.
Fry first went missing back in 1995, when, appearing in the West End play Cell Mates, he 'got nervous' and, indeed, had a nervous breakdown. He eventually resurfaced in Belgium, where people go to contemplate suicide.
This time, however, friends are mystified as to the star's disappearance.
Former associates have voiced unequivocal support for the moody actor. One-time partner Hugh Laurie, who has now given up comedy and works as a drug addicted doctor in Hollywood, said:
"I'm sure he'll be back bigger and better than ever."
Rowan Atkinson, with whom Fry starred in the famed Blackadder series, said:
"An accomplished gentleman who hath gone forth to exorcise his inner demons, and to discover new and majestic horizons replete with horny juvenile homosexuals. Verily, Baldrick, dost thou thinkest?"
Fry, who is often confused with Oscar Wilde because he tries to be him, has often spoke of being knighted, and may raise his mug once more in December when the Queen's New Year's Honours List is published.
Belgium is where people go to contemplate suicide!!!!
