Holy crap, that interviewer is so sexist ... who says women can't like action films for their own sake? (I mean, hot guys are a bonus, but still ...) I do agree with Hugh Laurie though, I like films better when the characters are complex, but I wouldn't have thought that's because I'm a woman, I'd have thought it's because I have a brain.
I think his joke about Keanu Reebes got lost in translation...it's very british humour. I don't know if americans have mancrushes but in england we do and that's what he's joking about. He's definately not gay, he's married with kids...
Hugh's brilliant as usual... but that interviewer is an idiot if she thinks "women" need something different than "men" from a movie. Liking or disliking action movies don't depend on sex or gender. /mini-tangent
(also, damn, if that line from Keanu to Hugh in the clip wasn't completely slashable...)
Pretty strange that anyone would believe of a really smart guy that he could successfully hide his homosexuality all his life, then let it slip in answer to a routine question about his latest work.He joked because otherwise such interviews would have nothing interesting to offer.He always does that,even the dullest interviewer can't suppress his playful side.Glad to see that the majority of the commenters here are his target audience,people with a sense of humour,rather than homophobic morons.
Hugh is a married man with children and he has an OPENLY GAY best friend in Stephen Fry. If he was gay, I'm sure Stephen would know, and I'm sure Stephen is way too smart to let his best friend live his entire life as a lie.
I agree with angeryenglishgirl. Hugh Laurie has always been a very handsome man, but in his younger years he was a bit... nerdy-looking; however, as he ages he seems to get sexier and sexier!
Ahhhh Americans truely don't understand British humour. Hugh Laurie certainly isn't gay and was obviously just making a joke. I can't imagine he would be closeted either as coming out in UK, though still not easy, is no where near as hard as in America and as his best friend is gay, Stephen Fry, i doubt he would have been afraid to come out.
All of this is very childish and alot of people need to get a sense of humour and stop being so homophobic!
I agree with a lot of what you said,except I ADORE British humor, and I'm American! I watch BBC reruns, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster, and I've read "The Gun Seller" and "Moab is my Washpot", etc. Maybe I don't "understand" as well as the British, but I do enjoy it. Too often, in accusing people of making hasty generalizations, the accuser makes one as well.:)
I agree the homophobia epidemic is truly an embarrassment. It's almost 2010, people. Accept other peoples' differences.
I love that Hugh Laurie chose this role. What a fun change! What a talent. SO funny. Note: What's with all the gay bashing nonsense below? Please crawl back under your rocks, people. Seriously.
1) It's called British humor; he's joking about the 'mancrush' on reeves.
2) Since when does having a wife mean you're not gay? If anything it's a sleight of hand.
3) Doesn't matter if he is gay; Stephen Fry's gay (Hugh's good friend), Ian McKellan (Magneto/white/graywizzard), and scores of other have the same 'characteristic.'
4) Doesn't matter so even my comments are moot; lol
Hugh is still a hotty gay or not and fans wouldnt mind about it. I mean, the men was bold for a while and fans dont care, why shuold them? Hugh is great as an actor and as a person I love him for that!
Hmmm, let me see, guns, blood, guts, excessive violence (is there such a thing?) and general arse kicking.
I'm a girl, I love this kind of movie, why aren't girls allowed to appreciate this on the same level as what men do? And you should give men a little more credit for the appreciation of plot and character development.
Oh, and OK I love Hugh as well, those beautiful eyes!
If Hugh was gay, it does not mean he would have "gotten it on" with Stephan. Just because two men are friends and are gay, does not mean they automatically have to fancy each other. Just like men and women can be friends without having to sleep together just because they are both straight.
Sigh... Don't you know anything about Hugh? Comedy is who he is. He jokes about everything and anything, all the time. Most of his acting career has been comedy. He is clearly jokingly pointing out that he thinks Keanu is a great guy who he enjoys working with.
I SAW KEANU REEVES IN A RESTAURANT WHEN I WAS ON HOLIDAY.
And I walked past him and didn't talk, 'cos he was already being squealed at by crazed fangirls. I don't like him that much anyway. If I did ever talk to him, I'd ask him for Hugh Laurie's number :)
Cool. Everything Hugh said about the movie, the whole guns, violence thing is the reason I loved it...and I'm a girl, so...I don't know I just felt like saying that. Anyway, Hugh Laurie is awesome, Keanu Reeves is awesome, and that movie was awesome. And yay for man crushes!
lol people don't seem to realize he's a comedian, he's not afraid to say things like "I'm more than a little in love with him" when showing admiration for someone.
ya'll need to just relax. he's a comedy actor its a joke. he's been married for years. people blow little comments wayyyy out of proportion. breathe people calm yourselves
Then Hugh Laurie really wouldn't like you :) As his best friend (Stephen Fry) is gay, then no matter his own sexuality (straight) he would detest homophobic fools like you
Hugh Laurie is AWSOMENESS. And good for him for being so cool. I believe he's straight, I dont think he's bisexual, but if he was that doesnt matter. People need to get over sexual orientation. Go Hugh!
I hate how the interviewer genders the movie. I realize it's something that most people would do, and she's only encouraging it. I'm female and I wouldn't think anything of watching Die Hard or Firewall. They're enjoyable movies with high-stakes plots. So what?
I really think that Hugh is sexier than Keanu, I mean his face, his beautiful blue eyes, his always unkempt hair, his sexy accent, he's just... HOT!!!!!!!!!
& the reality is that I don't like Keanu so... screw you Keanu
To DaRkEtItA87: I like both Hugh and Keanu. But I have to say, saying "screw you Keanu" can be quite offensive to any fans of his. I bet you wouldn't like it if I said "screw you Hugh".
