Hugh Laurie's speech at Emma Thompson's Walk of Fame Event

Hugh Laurie gushes (quite rightly) over Emma Thompson in his speech on Hollywood Blvd. Emma has just earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I apologize for the camera's shakiness, but at least you can see (most of) it, right? PLEASE CREDIT @ADIEANGEL if you copy this video. Thank you!

Imagine meeting your first love in a drama club in Cambridge amongst a group of friends that you'll grow old together with and falling in love with his soul so much that even when it didn't work out he's still there 30 years later as a best friend to present you the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry 3 elites from Cambridge and all intelligently significant to the showbiz today so amazed that they remain as very close friends for more than 30 years this is very sweet

[@jeanmyers1787]

Absolutely. Can’t beat your old uni friends!

[@1511KC]

[@angeeee89]

[@somniumsogni]

Hugh Laurie is THE sweetest man ever!

[@sjoes]

Emma Thompson deserves all the praise she's been getting. If you think Hugh Laurie can speech well, you should look up one of La Thompson's speeches. There's a reason why so many people love and admire her and consider her a dear friend!

[@FlashakaViolet]

SHE DUMPED ME FOR A *MIME ARTIST* lol

[@NCISmelanie]

[@halflanding1900]

[@HouSenderella]

thank you so much!))))

[@yllen27]

thanks for uploading the video!!

[@PurushaDesa]

I'm kind of glad Hugh Laurie isn't in an actual relationship with Emma Thompson (any more) or Stephen Fry (ever) because let's be honest, sex always gets in the way. I imagine that without that barrier they've been able to remain the best of friends for about three decades,

[@CanaryKeeper]

lol "Celestial firmament of stars...or pavement..." XD

[@Ifelllove]

[@helendqueen]

[@jeanmyers1787]

[@rneedham667]

He's been married for over 30 years to jo green!

[@mmgringoire2]

Come on Emma now you have to guset appear on House! Hugh and Emma are amazing. I love them so much. It's a shame Stephen Fry couldn't show up. Anyway, congradulations Emma!

[@mynameisonyx]

he's so adorable and funny, it's nice to see they're still "friends" (they would be so adorable together) after like 20 years. :)

[@shawthingfilms]

I was standing on the sidewalk right next to you. Coincidently - I was there from Australia wandering the streets of L.A

[@believer713]

He is very charming... not a fan of House, but he is a great actor.

[@trueandika]

A mime artist...

[@TheCapedWanderer]

She said talented things, she wore talented clothes

[@rbeygarcia]

Emma had to nudge Hugh and remind him not to speak in an American accent. Always three steps ahead of the rest, she knew this would make international headlines and get back to the British press. They'd have summarily TWATTED him for "forgetting himself". Foreign celebs that make a life in L.A. after success are mercilessly shamed back home for adopting an American accent outside of a set. British press STILL have a go at Catherine Zeta-Jones, while Australian press have never forgiven Olivia Newton-John for losing her Australian accent. Especially when she had the cheek to speak American to an Australian audience at a concert, drawing boos from the large crowd. Then again, the US decimated Madonna for adopting an "English" accent (it wasn't a good one at ALL) when she lived in London with then-husband Guy Ritchie.

[@levison7935]

Every time l’ve heard ONJ she’s spoken with an Aussie accent.

[@rbeygarcia]

@@levison7935 To me she sounds Australian (certainly not American). But to Australians, it’s not Australian enough. Maybe it used to be a lot more pronounced than it is today. Who knows!

[@Corsair2499]

@giselejames Proud is a single syllable, so prouder is correct.

[@Tuco-el4hh]

Se comenta que estuvieron un romance

[@giselejames]

"i could not be prouder" oooooooooooo that just irks me!!! i adore hugh laurie but is it prouder? or more proud???
