Hugh Laurie Brings Stephen A High Tech Birthday Surprise From Across The Pond

[@ChilledfishStick]

Seeing and hearing Hugh Laurie just makes everything better.

[@KindessisEternal]

He's got a lovely singing voice. ^_^

[@Caninecancersucksrocks]

Chilledfish agreed! It just truly does 🥰👍

[@JonBlondell]

Hugh Laurie is one of my few heros. So brilliant at comedy, music, acting, and a true student of all the arts. And the perfect amount of ego / no ego. What a treat!

[@hobbs1]

So true; he is brilliant in Blackadder and House and a national treasure. We love Hugh Laurie!! 😊

[@harrynac6017]

I'm actually rewatching blackadder these days. Halfway season 3. We Dutch appreciate British humor a lot.

[@bierrollerful]

Definitely! He has brought me so much joy. Him and Stephen Fry. And Rowan Atkinson And Michael Palin And David Jason And Dermot Morgan And Jessica Stevenson And Mark Heap And Olivia Colman And Richard Feynman (merely on here because he belongs on any list of awesome people) And Bill Bailey And Richard Ayoade And David Mitchell And Graham Norton And Simon Frost and Nick Pegg I have no idea how you manage to produce that many talented and genuinely pleasant people on these islands. Meanwhile in Germany we only had Loriot.

We love you Dutch too Harry, just for very different reasons. Looking forward to more cultural exchanges once this is over.

[@steph.ania14]

"I'm unbelievably lucky. I don't deserve it, but I'm taking it." You deserve EVERYTHING, Mr. Laurie. Such humility is what will make the world right again. Everyone would do well to learn from such a gentleman. Especially those who share such unbelievable luck + privilege, yet have never tasted modesty-and so they're disconnected from the world, from any notion of appreciation and kindness... Yeah, I adored this interview. Shine a light on.

[@rushfan1970]

So well said, thank you, & I agree!!!

[@karascene13]

Here! Here! Amen to that. I loved it when he said that. It reminded me just how lucky I am too. I agree with everything you said. I hope his message reaches into others hearts as well. With all that's going on, it's easy to be depressed. But-- gratitude pulls you out of depression- even for just a moment.

[@sofiamarie9136]

Yes, same here! I think what threw me is that he stays in the American accent during the bloopers on House as well, even when chatting and joking between takes, so I just assumed he was American. They I heard him on the Graham Norton Show and I thought he was faking the British accent as part of a bit for the show, lol. His American accent is solid.

Amoral is the new evil.

[@davidm5707]

He was great in Chance, as well, although he was a psychiatric House.

[@karmateka7588]

Agreed. There was a moment in the Night Manager where he gets some news against him (possibly the moment he realizes he's been betrayed) and there's a subtle movement of his eyes - you can see the character calculating what to do. It was utterly brilliant and something I wouldn't credit other actors as getting right like that. Like @OriginalYithian I believed he was evil, which is pretty amazing given I know Hugh Laurie best from Fry and Laurie, Black Adder and House.

[@emmapearce2953]

Loved growing up in an era with Fry, Laurie, Monty python's, basically British comedy, nothing like it

Thank you to Mr Laurie's son for being on the front lines. We cannot show enough gratitude to everyone that continues to work during the pandemic. Those who keep the world working smoothly and safely. This includes not only doctors and nurses, but our police, firemen, sanitation workers, food services, truck drivers, utility workers, bus & gig drivers, farmers, farm laborers, those working in meat packing. This is naming only a few of the professionals that risk their lives on a daily basis to save ours. Bless each and every one of them.

Hugh Laurie (that’s “Big Ass Taxi” in American) is such a kind and gracious fellow (“dude”). I had a friend who worked on the short-lived Fran Drescher Show, and Hugh was a guest. There was some sort of meal that was had before or after taping, and my friend’s boss had her do the dishes for everyone afterward. Hugh Laurie insisted on helping my friend with the dishes (I don’t think they had even allowed her to share in the meal), and she was later chastised for his kindness and manners. Hard to figure why that show didn’t last... But Hugh marches on, and continues to be a wonderfully gracious man!

I wish we Americans could acceptably say "hale and hearty."

[@lanmandragoran8337]

We can, we just can't be talking to other Americans when we say it.

I have to stop myself sometimes from saying something like, "Bloody hell." I've read and watched way too many British books, shows, and movies, and it sort of rubs off on you after awhile. I think you have to have the accent though or it would just sound wrong.
