Stephen Fry

Rylan is joined by actor and writer Stephen Fry, who shares how he went from being celibate for 15 years to finding love with his husband of 10 years.

Rylan sits down with actor, writer and President of Mind, Stephen Fry, who discusses how love has helped shaped his life.

From the impossibly high standards set by his parents’ relationship, to the impact of living through the AIDS crisis, and a self-imposed 15-year stretch of celibacy. Plus, having recently celebrated 10 years of marriage, Stephen shares how being in an age-gap relationship has unexpectedly introduced him to the worlds of wrestling and rap.

How to Be in Love – Rylan has loved passionately, lost messily, and is now ready to rediscover what ‘love’ is. But does he need to look at love differently before he can find it again?
