Hugh Laurie: the Playboy Interview!

Thankfully, Playboy has put the interview with Hugh Laurie out on their web site so we can actually read it without having to buy the magazine. Thank you so much, Playboy!!

Of course, you saw the quotes from it a few days ago, but here are a few more things you will enjoy in the article:

He talks about his own “moodiness” and how he has somehow mellowed over the years.
He gives us his own take on why he thinks Greg House is so popular. He’s talked about this before, but I think he brings up a couple of new perspecitves on it here.
He tells his favorite House episodes! And they may not be the ones you expect!
And you won’t blieve it either, but he’s only seen about 10% of the House episodes that have been made!! Find out why.
He gives us the heads up on what he feels is the sign of the End of Days….funny!
He tells just how much medical knowledge he has gained from doing the show.
He talks a bit about the American insurance situation vs. what happens on the show. I like that he is so thoughtful of such things!
He tells of his beginnings as an actor – at age 13! And he tells of his affection for Emma Thompson and when he met Stephen Fry.
And find out what character for Fry and Laurie got them in big trouble with BBC!
And have you ever wondered what Hugh thinks about the difference in British and American humor? He reveals it in the interview.
He talks about being an adrenalin junkie and loves riding his motorcycle…and about all the things his age has made him start to wonder. (Join the club, Hugh!) ;-)
And I absolutely love the way he ends the interview!!! I think you will too.

Well, there’s my list of teasers…now cautiously go read the interview yourself. I say cautiously, because it is on the Playboy site and there’s no telling what banner ads may be there…read at your own risk! But do enjoy the interview. :-)

“He tells his favorite House episodes! And they may not be the ones you expect”
I did! I knew he’d say “Three Stories” and “Autopsy”. These two episodes are pretty much the most fascinating they ever made, the medical cases and – this applies especially for “Three stories” – how they were told is awesome.
The interview is great, it’s worth visiting the Playboy website even when you’re female :D (I just keep asking myself – why can’t they publish this in Playgirl?! *lol*)
