Briefly

This is why Stephen Fry thinks being an actor won't help on Celebrity Traitors:
"Actors are terrible liars! It's not an actor's job to lie. It's an actor's job to tell the truth. So, there's that side of it,"
"There are those who are in the sporting arena, and they're known for their competitiveness. You can't succeed in sport unless you have a drive that is way beyond that of a normal person. So those are kind of two interesting elements."
"Some people look as if they're lying when they tell the truth and look as if they're telling the truth and they're lying."
Stephen Fry rejects the idea that acting provides an advantage in deception, arguing that acting is about conveying truth rather than lying. The Celebrity Traitors line-up includes LGBTQ+ contestants such as Alan Carr, Cat Burns, Tom Daley and Clare Balding, with Claudia Winkleman hosting and a £100,000 charity prize at stake. Fry suggests that sporting competitors may be advantaged by exceptional drive and competitiveness. Fry downplays reliance on poker faces or intuitive tells, characterizing such methods as unreliable and emphasizing that betrayals are most often revealed through slips or mistakes.
