Education
From 1994 to 2002, Fox was educated at Arnold House School,[7] a junior independent school for boys in the St John's Wood area of London, followed by Bryanston School, a co-educational senior boarding independent school in the market town of Blandford Forum (near the village of Bryanston) in Dorset.[4] He then attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, from which he graduated in 2010.[8][9]
Personal life
While promoting the Channel 4 comedy Cucumber in 2015, Fox said that he does not wish to define his sexuality, adding "I’ve had girlfriends, but I wouldn’t wish to say ’I am this or I am that’, because at some time in my life I might fall in love with a man." He also expressed that bisexuality is often misunderstood, and that people can have meaningful relationships "no matter what sex they are."[10] Fox dated actress Tamzin Merchant for two years.[11]
