Stephen Fry remains a much-loved figure in British culture, continuing to impress fans with his work in film, television, and activism. Recently knighted, Fry is balancing a busy career with heartfelt advocacy and personal growth. Here's a full update on what he’s doing now.
Stephen Fry Stars in Emotionally Powerful Film “Treasure”
Stephen Fry recently starred in Treasure, a moving drama about a Holocaust survivor returning to Poland with his daughter. The film also stars Lena Dunham and had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024. It was released in the U.S. in June 2024.
The film explores memory, trauma, and healing, and Fry’s performance as Edek Meier is being praised for its emotional depth. Fry has said the project was deeply meaningful to him, both professionally and personally. The role also highlights his ability to take on serious, dramatic characters outside of his usual comedic presence.
Hosting UK “Jeopardy!” and Joining Reality TV
Stephen Fry is back on British television, hosting the UK version of Jeopardy! on ITV. The second season aired in early 2025 and has received positive feedback from both viewers and critics. Fry’s charm and intelligence are perfect for the quiz show’s format.
In a surprising turn, Fry will also appear in The Celebrity Traitors, a BBC One reality competition. The show involves celebrities trying to uncover who among them is secretly working against the group. It’s a strategic and dramatic game, and Fry’s involvement adds a touch of sophistication and fun to the cast lineup.
Knighted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle
In March 2025, Stephen Fry was honored with a knighthood by King Charles III for his contributions to the arts, mental health awareness, and advocacy work. The ceremony took place at Windsor Castle, and Fry described it as a moment of “immense pride.”
Fry has long been active in promoting mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental causes. This recognition marks a significant milestone in his public and professional life. He continues to use his platform to bring attention to important social issues in a thoughtful and heartfelt way.
Personal Life: Fry on Love, Age Gaps, and New Interests
Stephen Fry has been married to comedian Elliott Spencer since 2015. The couple has a 30-year age gap, which Fry recently said has never been an issue for them. He explained that their relationship is based on mutual respect, happiness, and shared humor.
Fry credits Spencer with helping him discover new interests like rap music and wrestling—two things he didn’t explore before their marriage. He says being with Spencer has brought energy and light into his life, proving that love can thrive regardless of age differences.
Upcoming Documentary Explores Resistance and Courage
Stephen Fry will also appear in the upcoming documentary Willem & Frieda – Defying the Nazis, which tells the story of two LGBTQ+ Dutch resistance members during World War II. Fry narrates the film and guides viewers through the historical impact of these courageous individuals.
The project aligns with Fry’s ongoing commitment to sharing lesser-known stories of heroism and injustice. It’s a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for others, especially during times of fear and oppression.
