If by fluffer you mean gay. He was not. He asked at least two women to marry him. Guy was just English which can often be confused with shirt lifter.
My English friends were always bemused by America’s obsession with Benny Hill as they put it.
Really!!?? I heard rumors upon rumors back in the day he was gay!! I rejected it for a long time. but then heard one that he finally came out and that’s what did it for me!
I read that he was actually very shy around women in real life.
Years ago while playing an online game, a guy from Britain asked me what we Americans thought of Benny Hill. He was surprised when I told him Benny Hill was immensely popular with us Americans.
