Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking spends a lot of time talking about the universe and what it might all mean but when the former “Newton Chair” holder of Cambridge University isn’t talking to sold out crowds he can be seen spending his time in sex and strip clubs.

The Daily Mail is reporting that the 70-year-old has visited various swinger clubs, sex clubs and strip clubs over the years including a Southern California swingers party which he was brought to by his nurses and assistants.

According to reports he paid for private shows with various naked dancers at the Freedom Acres Club in Devore which he visited on a “handful of occasions.”

According to one source:

“I’ve spoken to him on several occasions, and have shared drinks with people in his group.”

While Cambridge officials deny that Hawking has made “regular” stops at strip and sex clubs they do admit that he visited a club “once a few years ago with friends while on a visit to California.”

Stringfellow’s Gentlemen’s Club in London Owner Peter Stringfellow told the Daily Mail that he actually had a chance to meet Stephen Hawking at his club.

“I remember asking him if he’d like to have a conversation with me about the universe, or if he’d just like to watch the girls. The answer was quite simply: ‘The girls.’ “

So there you have it, when Stephen Hawking’s not busy trying to solve the mystery’s of our universe he’s doing what millions of other men do, he stares at naked women.

Are you surprised to learn that Stephen Hawking acts just like “one of the guys” when he’s not trying to work out the mysteries of the universe?
