LONDON, Feb 14: Stephen Fry has just broken our hearts by seemingly ruling out a comedy reunion with former collaborator Hugh Laurie.
In an interview with Jonathan Ross, Fry said that sketch comedy is a young person’s game, reported Digital Spy.
“We talk about it, we lark about when we’re together, as we always have which is what the sort of genesis of that kind of thing is,” he said.
“But I think we both have this idea, I may be wrong, that sketch comedy is a young person’s game.?”
Fry, who is hosting the BAFTAs this weekend, also spoke about how tame the events are these days.
“It is an odd thing that… after the BAFTAs all the parties are pretty sober and people behave,” he said.
“People have one little drink and that’s about it really but if you went back to 20 years ago, 25 years ago it was a very different story and I don’t know why that is.
“Obviously I have to say it is true that I don’t do much of that kind of thing anymore as I used to and so it’s not as if I really regret other people stopping but I wonder why it is, just as an intellectual or if not exactly intellectual, a curious social question as to why…Now everybody is so buttoned up and puritanical.” (PTI)
