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.”

the fact that he doesn’t think he’s sexy makes him seem even sexier.

Huh? If your wife doesn’t think you’re sexy, trust me you are hotttttt! :D But seriously, what’s the matter with you? You are great looking and part of you being sexy is your attitude on the show, they way you act, the way you respond to certain events etc… Now I’m sure you other House fans can agree with me :)

Much of his sex appeal certainly comes from his charisma: and that is more important than “perfect skin”!

The sexiest thing about him IS this modesty- and I mean real modesty, not the “aw, shucks- can you take another photo of me looking cute, by the way?” kind of modesty. But he’s so self-deprecating that it’s sort of sad that he can’t see the wonderful, sexy guy everyone else can. And I mean EVERYONE- have you ever met somebody who find Hugh Laurie annoying?

Para mi es un hombre re atractivo por ese par de ojos azules, realmente uno sabe que House es un personaje, pero igual Hugh es un hombre interesante, no asi su esposa Jo, ojala fuera mi pareja, creo que le haria un monumento.
y pienso que Hugh es con Greg pensaria everybody lies, y el no es la excepciòn!!!
I got hugh on my friends list on myspace... =D

Wow, his wife DOESNT’ THINK HE’S SEXY? Excuse me, but has she actully looked at him??!?! Okay, so, obviously she has looked at him, and I’m being silly, but it’s just because I’m so baffled as to why she wouldn’t think he was sexy. Intelligence is sexy. Confidence is sexy - and House is confidence, even if Laurie isn’t. Modestly is sexy. Talent is sexy.
It does indeed take a lot more then ’smooth skin’ to be sexy. That’s exactly what he was named ‘the thinking woman’s crush’.
I don’t think his wife is attractive. In any photos I’ve seen of her she looks…I don’t know, mousy. Plain.
