Stephen Fry was rushed to hospital with injuries to his ribs and legs after falling from a height of almost two meters on stage last Thursday.
The 66-year-old British actor and comedian had just finished speaking at the £495 CogX Festival when he fell off the stage.
The organizers are investigating the circumstances in which the incident occurred.
“It was too dark and there didn’t seem to be a railing. He fell from two meters to the floor. He looked hurt because he had to leave in a wheelchair,” a source told The Times.
A source told Mail Online that he “was put in a wheelchair until an ambulance took him to hospital”.
For now, it is not known if the actor is still in the hospital.
Since the accident, Stephen Fry has not posted any messages on social networks.
Greenwich Council said it had been alerted to the incident and was considering launching an investigation.
In his speech, the comedian said it was a “weird time to be alive” after he told viewers how his voice had been cloned and used in a documentary without his permission.
“I didn’t say a word there – it was a machine. Yeah, it shocked me. They used (my voice from) reading the seven volumes of the (series) ‘Harry Potter’ books, and from that data set it was made an AI (version) of my voice and that new narrative was created,” he told the audience at the event.
Stephen Fry did not reveal who made the documentary, but added: “Therefore, they could make me read anything from a call to Parliament to pornography, all without my knowledge and permission.”
“What you’ve just heard was done without my knowledge. I found out about it, I sent it to my agents on both sides of the Atlantic and they went crazy – they had no idea such a thing was possible,” he said. said the actor.
