Hugh Laurie Says: I’m No Sex Symbol!

What?! Hugh doesn’t understand why people find him attractive. He says he has ‘buns of yogurt’ and that casting him as House was a ‘mistake.’ He even claims his wife doesn’t think he’s hot! Hmmm…I have a feeling she’d tell us a different story.

The full shocking story can be found at Inside Entertainment:

British actor Hugh Laurie is dumbfounded as to why he would be perceived as a sex symbol.

“Even my wife Jo doesn’t think I’m sexy,” said the “House” star. “It’s a miracle we have children.” American magazine “Entertainment Weekly” disagrees and describes Laurie as “the thinking woman’s sex symbol.”

“I recently did a shower scene and it was one of the most traumatic events of my life,” said the 46-year-old. “It struck me as a misuse of resources because the producers have gone to the trouble of hiring young beautiful people with smooth skin and high bottoms and they go and pick the old guy with the buns of yogurt. It staggers my wife.”

Laurie’s concerns span from his newfound sexy status to him being cast as the smart and suave Dr Gregory House in the first place. “I consider casting me to be a colossal mistake,” said the Golden Globe winner. “I think I have a huge charisma deficit compared to all these American actors who look fabulous and sexy.”
