Stephen Fry is in New Zealand for a role in The Hobbit Gay British actor Stephen Fry may keep being mistaken for Top Gear presenter James May, but that isn't dampening the fun he is having in Wellington where he is filming a role in The Hobbit. He has been tweeting incessantly since arriving in the capital, saying he initially found the time difference with Britain "a little alarming" and "damned annoying". However he has joked it can help him see into the future: "You'll find the future weird. New style in hats." A wig he's had to wear has led to him being called James May. "A damned good haircut should end this. I'm hoping," he has tweeted. "Had a wonderful wander. Forgotten the pleasures of a good flat white. Non-antipodeans mightn't know what I mean, though you can get them in UK," he tweeted on his first day in Wellington. He says the city is pretty damned gorgeous and Queenstown and the Remarkables were the "greatest sight on Earth".
