I have been very limited in my title as I don’t want to be rude
Laurence Fox has now bought himself an exemption lanyard off Amazon so he doesn’t need to wear a mask I believe he hinted at anxiety although I m not sure if that’s his full reasoning He also held a party I believe at his house in November
This man is an utter disgrace

I very much doubt Lawrence Fox is short of female company.
I wouldn’t worry about him if I were you.

Oh is he on gransnet ?

Hahaha, love it.

I'm not surprised EV. He was lucky to get her and I am not surprised if losing her broke him.

The man was never the same after his marriage ended to Billie Piper. I think he went downhill from then.

Who knows what he looks at ?..this is a public forum

* He's gone to look old when he isn't.

People who are ill aren't always recogniseable because of the changes that have occurred in their appearance.He's gone to look old when he isn't.

EllanVannin Sun 17-Jan-21 11:12:17

Riverwalk even the man's features have changed which usually denotes that all's not well within the brain area. I know people change over time but his appears to be sudden.
At one point I didn't even recognise him in a newspaper article.

This thread seems to be giving him the publicity he seems to enjoy.

Galaxy Sun 17-Jan-21 10:57:20

I think BilliePiper has been treated appallingly since being a very young girl.

Callistemon Sun 17-Jan-21 10:56:42

Unloved Middle Child Syndrome. Attention seeking.

I've never heard of that!
Hope my middle child doesn't hear about that, he's my favourite son.
grin

GagaJo Sun 17-Jan-21 10:55:08

Yes, I always thought Billie Piper was OK. Although, Chris Evans... very dodgy taste in men.

Never heard of him either ( no actor will be pleased by that!)

Lewis's sidekick in Lewis.
Lewis was Morse's sidekick.
So sidekick of a sidekick iyswim
Was married to Billie Piper until she saw sense.

Franbern Sun 17-Jan-21 10:38:23

It is a pity as I do (did) love the Lewis series. Cannot watch them anymore as, each time LF appears on my screen, I want to thrown something at the tv.

I know we should keep separate the actors and their characters, but LF is such a nasty person, I really do not want to see him at all.

Lucca Sun 17-Jan-21 10:25:12

So here we go there’ll be the “PC gone mad”. “All lives matter”
“I for one....”. Along soon

biba70 Sun 17-Jan-21 10:17:43

''Or perhaps he’s just not afraid to speak his mind?
Actually refreshing that an actor is prepared to speak his mind in this way, he knows it’s against all ‘lovey’ traditions ...''

fighting racism when you clearly see it, is not a 'lovey' tradition Kandisnky- how utterly shameful to say this.

funny that, seems like it is always the same people who support the same ... ideas.

Yes, he and Katie - peas pods. Add a few more from here perhaps for that new party.

GagaJo Sun 17-Jan-21 10:11:25

Fox's media representatives and girlfriend dumped him after some of the racist things he said. It also caused problems in his family, because he has black family members. He said he would boycott Sainsburys because of their inclusivitiy advertising.

He may not actually BE racist. Who knows? But is certainly acting in a racist way. He is angling to be the male Katie Hopkins by being generally offensive, bigoted and inflammatory.

How anyone can call that 'refreshing' is beyond me.

mumofmadboys Sun 17-Jan-21 09:52:17

I knew him slightly as a child. His parents worked for a Christian organisation working with students in Leeds. His parents are lovely and certainly at that time were very down to earth.

Galaxy Sun 17-Jan-21 09:50:41

He reminds me of the fathers for justice men who had a brief moment of publicity a few years back.

Iam64 Sun 17-Jan-21 09:47:53

definitely un pc
Give us a break, what on Earth do you mean? He’s a racist bigot. He is an over privileged white male with an inflated sense of his own importance.
I’m inclined to agree with EllenValin and Galaxy in questioning how healthy his mental health is. He looks ravaged much of the time. He bought the lanyard to keep his anti Covid stance in the media.

Anniebach Sun 17-Jan-21 09:46:41

He was not racist on QT but was called a white privileged Male
which was racist

MaggieTulliver Sun 17-Jan-21 09:37:11

He was in no way being racist on Question Time. I find him a breath of fresh air and agree with Kandinsky. He’s definitely un-PC but the level of hatred aimed at him (including on here) is astonishing. He’s eloquent as well and doesn’t give a toss what people think.

Galaxy Sun 17-Jan-21 09:33:42

He has also just behaved fairly unpleasantly to one of his co stars from Lewis. She quietly blocked him as was tired of his rants. He went on to hound her publicly until he had to make a public apology as everyone was so appalled at his behaviour.

lemsip Sun 17-Jan-21 09:33:34

he is the father of two young children with exwife Billie Piper (actress) and seems to be on a low thread since the break up.

Sarnia Sun 17-Jan-21 09:32:09

He is just another in a long line of people to whom the rules do not apply. Many of those who consider themselves 'celebrities' in their own tiny minds just carry on regardless of the rules. What concerns me is that many of them have followers on social media who hang on their every word and might be influenced by them.
