According to what he said in an interview Friday night on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he's donating his proceeds from these commercials to charitable causes. So, sell out? Not so much. Why do some people have to put the worst possible spin on celebrities' motives? Also, the guy is now in the Guiness Book of World Records for being the most watched actor in the world with the show House, 85M, so while his earlier work on British TV was wonderful, he is still having some measure of success.
the girl obviously thinks he's super attractive. and he's milking it for all it's worth. he is, i mean. but also, he's married. so even if i did meet him, i'd be respectful. his wife probably hates all of us who are crazy over him...
Oh Hugh Laurie what happened to you? Where have the days gone where every intonation you made was a joke? Why Oh Why did you start being so serious and go about pretending to be American? Come back to us Hugh, team back up with Stephen, I'm sure together you could get the magic flowing again.
Hugh Laurie... really strange to see a funny goofy comedian in the past do a drama series like House :/ they make it as if its two completely different people rather than the partner of Steven Fry
I love House and have admired and liked Hugh Laurie since 'A bit of Fry and Laurie'...but what is this? It's neither funny nor original. It just reeks of arrogance and chauvinism. The qualities I found amusing in House have really been turned on their head.
1138 likes and only 25 dislikes ..that's Hugh :) An amazing actor/comedian and human ..some people still think that he is House but not he is Hugh Laurie get over it HE WORTH IT ...372.395 views in a month...Laurie knows to do his job even if it's an ad ,movie or music..and why not people want him...Well Done Hugh we love you
OMG we studied this video in history class last year!
The module was '21st century marketing in the years prior to the final economic collapse and WW3'
I remember thinking how strange that they never actually showed the product or referred to it directly and they used a name which pandered to male insecurity about being seen as an expert (most males were virtually redundant in early 21st C society)
Hard to imagine they were actually at war at the time!
sell your soul Laurie, nice one. Just like every other dick in our consumerist society. You not got enough money Hugh? What happened to human dignity and self-respect?
Hugh Laurie L'Oreal-----search the video with that name (Hugh Laurie L'Oreal) gives every phrase a sense...better one...maybe l'oreal will regret it (pretty funnny one)
She's going to damage his nails filing them back and forth like that. You're only meant to go in one direction. You'd think a makeup artist would know that.
I love his voice!!!!
