Deep Fryed in his own comments

It’s been an uncomfortable week for Stephen Fry

It's been an uncomfortable week for Stephen Fry. Much has been made of the polymath's comments (taken out of context, he says) to the effect that women don't really enjoy sex. While that controversy bubbled, it emerged that Fry had been compelled to remove photographs of the new Harry Pottershoot from his famously fecund Twitter feed. The great man is not actually in the film, but he was working nearby on the sequel to Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes.Fry plays Mycroft, Holmes's brother, in the steampunk adventure.
