Stephen Fry at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Stranger than Fiction' held at the Mann Village Theatre. Los Angeles, California- 30.10.06

The WILDE funnyman, 49, was caught driving at 74 miles (119 kilometres) per hour in a 60 miles (96 kilometres) per hour zone by a speed camera in Weeting, Norfolk in eastern England.

Fry was fined (GBP150) and ordered to pay (GBP35) legal costs by Kings Lynn magistrates court yesterday (14DEC06).

Fry did not attend the hearing because he is currently filming EICHMANN opposite THOMAS KRETSCHMANN and FRANKA POTENTE in Hungary.
