Stephen Fry has called for feuds to be forgotten and strangers to be smiled at in an inspirational rallying cry for kindness amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In the British actor’s appeal on Twitter, he proposed that “when the final whistle is blown we can go back to being mean and beastly”.

“Agreed?” he asked on Thursday.

OK. Until this thing is over we’ve all got to be helpful, friendly and kind to each other, understood? Hatchets buried. Grievances forgotten. Disputes resolved. Feuds ended. Strangers smiled at. When the final whistle is blown we can go back to be being mean and beastly. Agreed?

Stephen’s plea ― which was posted as the number of worldwide cases of the virus passed 134,000 ― was well-received by many of his followers, including a number of fellow British stars:

We need you more than ever Stephen. Thank you.
