British actor, writer, playwright and dramatist Stephen Fry celebrates birthday on the 24-th of August.

This year Fry known for the roles in British comedian TV series ‘Blackadder’ and ‘Jeeves and Wooster’ will be 59 years old. His part of Oscar Wilde in biographic drama ‘Wilde’ was recognized as the best embodiment of the life of writer who belonged to Victorian epoch. Stephen Fry was nominated to Golden Globe Award; moreover, the movies where he participated received Oscar.

The protector of conservative values of Great Britain provokes audience with remarkable statements in satirical manner typical for him. The newspaper ‘Observer’ was right to enlist him along fifty funniest people ever being born in the world. The carrier of the perfect option of English language about whom people joke (‘It is hard to speak like Stephen Fry’) acquires the skills to speak in a spontaneous, on-the-scene and memorable way. The phrases from his speeches transform into quotations. Let us remember some of his most famous quotes: ‘Most of all I feel a pity that humanity invented selfie’, ‘I should confess that I am not proposed with the roles which Brad Pitt refused to take’, ‘If you are going to break your arm, it is not worth to do it in Amazon jungles like I did’.

One more sharp opinion which Stephen Fry was not afraid of articulating sounded in the address of bestseller ‘The Da Vinci Code’. Particularly, the iconic British man offered to connoisseurs of Dan Brown’s to pay attention to the classics: ‘Unfortunately, you had to read it. Why cannot you turn your attention to another side? Here is ‘Oliver Twist’, here is ‘Great Expectations’, here is ‘The Great Gatsby’. Try something what has been written in a proper way’.

Notwithstanding, Stephen Fry does not hesitate to tell about him what is usually hidden by others. For instance, he suffers from manic-depressive psychosis what he claimed to the world filming documentary movie. One more sarcastic way to talk about himself in light manner is the collection of autobiographic recollections called ‘More fool me’.

Who was happy enough to appear among the list of friends of Stephen Fry? It is worth saying he gets on well with unconventional personalities. For instance, Prince Charles invited the actor to his second wedding. In addition to that, it becomes known in ‘starry’ hangout that Fry has friendship with Hugh Laurie famous for his role of doctor House, Emma Thompson, and Joanne Rowling.
