Stephen Fry: Miserable and Loving It
from the Jeeves-was-never-this-conflicted dept.
Actor Stephen Fry, the quintessential Jeeves from the British TV series based on P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster stories, has this fairly interesting interview currently running in the New Zealand Herald. The thing that makes it interesting to me, besides the fact that I love everything he’s done, is the way he comes across as so dreadfully exhausted with the whole endless treadmill of movie publicity (Gosford Park is opening in New Zealand on Thursday, apparently), that he’s just saying whatever nutty thing comes to mind, in the process painting a pretty compelling picture of a guy who really needs a vacation. This part, for example: “Fry appears perplexed when asked if he would ever entertain suicidal thoughts again. ‘How can I know?’ he asks in a tone of incredulity. ‘I haven’t the faintest idea.'”
