British actor Stephen Fry appears to have left Twitter amid controversy surrounding his interview with Attitude magazine.

"If women liked sex as much as men, there would be straight cruising areas in the way there are gay cruising areas," Fry told the magazine in their November issue cover story.

The actor claims he was misquoted.

"So some f---ing paper misquotes a humorous interview I gave ... and now I'm the Antichrist. I give up ... Bye-bye," Fry Tweeted on Sunday.

The controversy comes three days after Warner Bros reportedly told Fry to remove photos he posted to Twitter from behind the scenes of the latest Harry Potter set, which finished production back in June. Fry took the photos while filming at the nearby set of the Sherlock Holmes sequel.

The photos include shots of a destroyed Hogwarts after the last epic battle between Lord Voldemort and Harry, as well as one of Harry's childhood home in Little Whinging.

"Just wandered round the Harry Potter Privet Drive on the studio back lot. Already looking a little overgrown. Time is so cruel," Fry Tweeted.

According to the Guardian newspaper, Fry quickly removed the photos upon request by Warner Bros.

"Oops. I've been sent to the naughty step," he Tweeted.

This is not the first time Fry has left the social media network.

"I'm obviously not good enough. I retire from Twitter henceforward. Bye everyone," he Tweeted in November 2009 after receiving "unkind" comments, reported Britain's Sky News.

However, a few hours and a plane ride later, the actor was using his account again.

"Arrived in LA feeling very foolish. Wasn't the fault of the fellow who called me "boring" . . . Sunshine will help. So sorry," he wrote at the time.

Fry has yet to officially announce his departure from Twitter.
