PICTURE: No One Loves Ireland As Much As Stephen Fry Does

We're thinking of beginning a petition to make this guy an honorary Irishman... Stephen Fry is as much of a gentleman as he is a genius. Fry returned to Dublin recently following his incredible interview with Gay Byrne on the Meaning of Life, the programme that saw Fry give a passionate view on the subject of God. Just when we thought we couldn't like him any more, today the legendary comedian expressed his love for this ol' country of ours on Twitter.

Reality show idea: “Search For An Incoherent, Unenthusiastic, Unfriendly Irish Man or Woman”. Impossible. Or maybe I’ve just been lucky. — Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) February 14, 2015

Ah shucks, what a gent. The responses to his tweet however, well they're just as great...
