Stephen Fry, right, and his partner Elliot Spencer
Oh. It looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain bag. I’m very very happy of course but had hoped for a private wedding. Fat chance!

30 year age gap! Made for each other they were ….
Emeritus Pope Bendict who is 87 and his lifetime “assitant”, the dashing Georg Ganswein, now 57, could show Fry and his intended a thing or two!
There’s a party I’d rather not attend.
This kind of comment cheapens male friendship and relationships. It derides the idea that men cannot be loyal friends to each other without being labelled as gay. It is both a homophobic and anti-man comment.
MISANDREW!!!
Correct.
Breda O’Brien is that you? I am reminded of your lamenting the gay agenda insinuating that Bert and Ernie might be gay. Male friendships are wonderful things but where they both actually live together and one spends quite a large amount of time deriding gay people, this does allow one a certain leeway to query their union with perhaps a degree of humour.
I’m glad you find gay people, and/or people you have decided are secret gay people, hilarious.
Doesn’t the young lad look only Delighted. Have to say that picture speaks a thousand words, one of which is Creepy.
Leave it out – the younger fellow is a 6 foot 27 year old. It’s not as creepy as your vivid imagination leads you to believe.
He’s 27? From that photo I wouldn’t have guessed it. I’d say he still gets asked for ID by bouncers… still good luck to the pair of them.
Jaysus. He’d never get served in Lidl.
Dja’ know what.
Somehow I don’t think this couple do their shop in AldiLidl.
Is it just me, or is this a bad advertisement for Gay marriage.
And equally an older man marrying a younger woman is a bad advertisement for heterosexual marriage ?
Probably yes, in fairness.
Yes, it is. A friend’s father (67) has just married a young lady (28) from Brazil. I asked him what he saw in her. He said, “felatio three times a day”. Can’t say I approve but can’t really argue with his reasoning either.
3 times a day at his age!! Fair play
surely a more pertinent question is what does she see in him? a healthy bank balance, maybe?
Maybe he is a really nice guy.
didnt know human rights required an advertising campaign
Is gay marriage a product?
Eh? Adverts are not just for products.
It’s not an advert. It’s a guy marrying his partner. Happens every day.
At least Elliott gets to wake up to a large fry every morning……
Boom
comment of the year so far
full english…
Brilliant !
G’wan Bertie ! :)
…brilliant
Brilliant. Just spilled my tea there. : )
Yay Bertie :)
Well, that’ll last.
I honestly didn’t know Fry was gay till reading this post.
Ah here
honestly did not know.
You may wish to brace yourself, as I have some big news for you about Graham Norton, Elton John & Liberace…
Really!!!!!! You mean there is more than two gay people in the world! I didn’t really take much notice to his personal life. If I hadn’t checked broadsheet I still wouldn’t know.
Perhaps he isn’t.
Stephen, you’re making a right tit of yourself.
Well, it’s a decided improvement on your other searing contributions of “thick” and “spa” this morning. I’m sure Stephen will certainly reconsider now that an erudite soul such as your good self has proclaimed him a “tit”. One waits with bated breath for the next instalment of your vivid, expressive eloquence.
One does. One does not.
one’s good self writes in a decidedly pretentious manner and less eloquently than one presumably supposes.
One’s trite and rather obvious attempt at a put-down does so amuse…snigger.
Spanner.
By getting engaged?
And all the drama about President Sarakosi’s brothers 44 getting engaged to one of the Olsen twins 27 two years ago and so many years between them. Others deemed it creepy. Sure, good luck to the lot if them. I might find a toy boy myself in a few years… : )
You spelt rampant rabbit wrong.
Yikes, ABM is going to be jealous! Insanely jealous. He’s only got his cat.
Get a good mental picture now, Father.
Couldn’t help comparing….

Jesus, that’s uncanny! Hope this relationship has a happier future.
For whom the bell tolls!
Smug old toff marries teenage twink, world applauds.
A teenage twink at 27?! A twonk maybe but at 27, the halcyon days of twinkdom are well and truly past. Try again.
What’s Twink got to do with it?
Zip up.
What age is the bride?
Fat indeed.
I care about this about as much as I cared about KimYe and The royal engagement.
But you cared enough to click, read, scroll down to the comments and reply. Yes, you don’t appear to care in the slightest. It just passed you by. Please.
Yeah, yeah. This is the same crap that you see when someone opens up about being gay. Amazingly, all those most virulently opposed to marriage for same-sex couples never seem “to care” about someone’s sexuality if they come out. And they want you to know just how much they don’t care by shouting it from the rooftops.
Like the Rose of Tralee Maria Walsh, what this lot don’t want or like, is visibility and openness. You know, it might just seem that there are more than one or two gays in the world.
Sorry Rotide, not buying your “couldn’t care less” spiel.
Wow you’re some fellow aren’t you Jord?
You infer that i’m against gay marriage because of that comment? How about you go f*pp yourself? What do you infer from that? That I’m against sex or just that I think you’re an idiot? You choose.
I’m the off smokes and irritable.
I’m not against gay marriage as I’ve said before. I’m against the complete hypocrisy of people like yourself though. The royal wedding got an absolute hammering round these parts, as did Kim and Kanye (rightly so in the latter imo).
Well then I’m putting you down as piqued because of dramatic nicotine depletion.
Call me old fashioned but there is quite a lot on Broadsheet which I couldn’t care less about but I don’t tend to declare it in the comments. I simply express my indifference by not paying the post the slightest bit of attention.
Rotide you are king of bullsh*t inferrals and assumptions. Get off the horse before you hurt yourself.
Seriously? He said nothing to warrant some self-righteous rant about the tactics of homophobes. Justifying it on the basis of something else he did some other time is a bit crap.
He’s complaining about hypocrisy while giving out to people about making assumptions. Ergo his previous behaviour is relevant.
So what first attracted you to the millionaire Stephen Fry?
His big c%ck if I am being honest
Quite. They’ll be dancing on the streets of Gomorrah begorrah to be sure
Jeeeeez, I’d say at times It’ll be hard work…
I saw a documentary on Elton and he came across as a moody Lovie. Fry has himself admitted that it’s not easy for people around him when his bi-polarity hits it’s dark phases.
On a more serious note… when the gloss wears off… Living with depression is hard work for the person with it and even more difficult at times for the person supporting the person with it. Hope they’ll have happy lives.
Its I KNOW its DAMN YOU PREDICKTIVE TEXT ; )
No it’s not.
It’s = it is
Its = that belonging to it.
GiGi was correct in correctly his/herself, Sinabhfuil
*correcting, sorry.
hisself is a word now too
Have I just had a stroke?
Saucy devil.
Check for humidity and get back to us.
you mean humility
swap photo with gary glitter and people would be screaming !
Depends on what he swaps it for.
Oh dear, both are adults of consenting age! A very significant and important difference to this photo
The old gay=pedos thing eh Franco, eh eh?
I think it’s disgusting – he’s clearly just using Stephen for his money.
What money?
Is he even worth a couple of mill?
Its not like he’s in JK Rowland levels of sales or has his buddy Emma’s fee status or writing credits
Sur that lad, if he’s any good, ( I understand he’s a stand up) would potentially have more earning power over the next 30 yrs.
I was actually just trying to fit in by acting outraged about some aspect of this.
That’s the Bandwagon for ya
The reaction to this is really disappointing.
I know tonnes of gay guys around my age (28) who are exclusively into older men. Successful guys, with their own career and money, it’s just personal taste.
Big f*pping deal.
And yet entirely unsurprising.
I wouldn’t hold out much hope of ever being anything other than disappointed by BS commenters.
Yeah..
I’ve dated someone who was 22 years older than me, and he hadn’t a bean, but he had a lovely personality.
I met him in Grogans last week. He was asking for you. He seemed sad so i bought one of his pictures off the wall.
You need to post a picture of a Straight Couple who aren’t engaged being miserable for balance, broadsheet.
I’d find this equally awkward if it was a hetero couple. I do hope they are happy, but an age gap that big has to have a lot of limitations in a relationship.
Fine. No one’s asking you to date a 90 year old.
Mind your own business.
Via-gra works for all ages
Best of luck to the two of them! I hope they are very happy together
Gold digger.
And,
BAAAAH!
