Last night's Inside the Actor's Studio featured Hugh Laurie, who is both cooler and more quick-witted than Dr. Gregory House. It turns out that he was a stud rower at Eton and Cambridge and while at university was snogging Emma Thompson.
You'll want to catch it on repeat.
I learned about Thompson and Laurie when Thompson was on The Tonight Show earlier this year. I quote from memory:
ReplyDeleteTHOMPSON: He was my boyfriend, first term . . .
LENO: First time?
THOMPSON: No, first term. (To the audience) What do you Americans call it? (Pause) "Semester", thank you. To me, that sounds like pregnancy, though.
If I remember correctly, she also said she used to literally hold up a physically exhausted Laurie to help take him to classes.
"...and while at university was snogging Emma Thompson."
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose you meant "shagging?"
