Personal Life
From his first marriage Brydon has two daughters, Katie, born August 1994 and Amy, born July 1999, and a son, Harry, born October 1996.
On 6 October 2006 Brydon married Claire Holland, a former producer on The South Bank Show, at Windsor church. They live in Strawberry Hill in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and have two sons, Tom, born in April 2008, and George, born in June 2011.
A fanatical golfer, Brydon is also a Swansea City fan and is an ambassador to their 1912 foundation.
Brydon has often been mistaken for comedian Ben Miller (and vice versa). As a reference to it, they dressed in similar outfits and shared a narcissistic kiss in the QI episode "Future".
Brydon was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama where he previously studied.
Brydon revealed himself to be a fairly devoted fan of Elvis Presley on the "XL" version of the sixteenth episode of QI (Series G) by going on at length about several facets of Presley's life and career, including the exact date of his death and the fact that Sam Phillips had attended the first of Presley's Las Vegas shows in July 1969.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
“Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered;
Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
With such small adjustments life will again move forward
Implicating us all; and the voice of the living be heard:
“It is to us that you should turn your straying attention;
Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
