Stephen Fry is planning a fresh start in the US with his husband Elliott Spencer. The 58-year-old, who quit Twitter after receiving criticism for a joke he made at the BAFTAs, is hoping to relocate to Los Angeles later this year.
The couple are already said to be in talks to buy a house, and comedian Elliott told The Sun that he is hoping to find work when they move. "We're moving to Los Angeles and I'm applying for a green card," he said. "We're excited about having a new base."
News of Stephen's transatlantic move comes just a day after he deactivated his Twitter account when a gag he made about costume designer Jenny Beavan's outfit was badly received by viewers. The 11-time BAFTA host quipped that Jenny had "come to the awards dressed like a bag lady," prompting viewers to demand he apologise.
While Stephen initially defended his comments by saying that Jenny was a "dear friend" and she wasn't offended by the joke, he later tweeted that he wanted to "leave the planet" before deleting his account completely.
