Stephen Fry is taking a break from Twitter for a month due to safety reasons, he has confirmed.

The actor and comedian was advised that it would be 'safest not to tweet' in his current filming location, not giving anything away to his 7.8 million followers on the social media site.

Stephen Fry tweeted that he would not be updating his Twitter page until December when filming was complete, leading many of his fans to question where he might be.

According to the Mirror, while many of Stephen’s fans are curious to what he could be doing, some believe the keen Tweeter might be filming on the new Star Wars film.
