[vasia48]

[1800hotness]

LOVE him!!!!

[speedthehedgehog46]

0:14 Hugh sucks!

[Afroman018]

Little did he know here that coming in the next year he would be the biggest star in hollywood !

[Viewty2012]

@Afroman018 biggest star in "hollywood"? I don´t think so. But yeah, he is great.

[darkstar1345a]

i think its interesting that if you look at the way he is dressed and his beard starting to grow ....  This was where he shot the audition tape for dr.house

[josephfiennes14]

i enjoy his out take so much just like mini movies to me!!!

[LeeNTien]

"Explain to me how the Namibian desert is colder then fucking Aberdeen"

Ahahaha from Aberdeen!

=)))

[JerichoDitch2]

this movie was a turd compared to the original with Jimmy Stewart.... but Laurie found his signature role on HOUSE which is a great character

[kkc0161]

@JerichoDitch2 yeah, dr house got the best character of the decade

[weerwolf01234]

I love his "you know" don't know why!

[angielious]

he's sooo hott! lol

[ImeldaLumos]

"This is practically less enjoyable than a rectal probe. Although some of those if properly handled can be, you know..." Haha. Did I really hear this correctly? I do apologise if I misheard (at least I'm not a native speaker - so that will work good as an excuse, won't it?). His dry sense of humour always makes me giggle. He seems like a very kind man.

[amberwhite100]

he was awesome as bertie wooster.

[applemoronbaka]

he is so cool in House!

[Gallumbina]

he says fuck at the end of the video? or i just understood it? XD

[TheSlackOne]

Yes, he does :)

[padshiyangel01]

@Gallumbina He says "Explain to me how the Namibian desert is colder than fucking Aberdeen" or something like that.

[Porcelanesa]

He really does look tired in here...

He's natural though, and frank.

Interesting! :)

[huggice]

hugh larie is soooooo CUTE!

i loooove himmmm!!!

one of the best actors EVER.

Greg House is his BEST character

[thefurseal]

Does anybody know the song that's playing at the very end?

[venusiabelle]

je pense que c'est cela :

Anathema - Flying (A Moment In Time)

sur youtube

[fredyuphello]

Haha, metaphorical department. He is a bloody genius and rather sexy to boot : )

[nomie2005]

Hugh Laurie is an amazing actor. + hes perfectly charming.

He was fab in blackadder.

Although i do favour Greg House above all others of his characters.

[brokenxstitches]

hugh is so awesome in this movie

:)

gregory house sweating and in the gobi desert LOL

[Erikcleric]

just recall, he isnt just.... House.

I saw him in Blackadder before House, and i think his english accent and shaved face, is the real Hugh hehe.

[MermaidAtHeart]

yeah i think it was les stroud it looked and sounded like him

[concertmate07]

ok, at the end, was that les stroud from survivorman??

[oOstareOo]

hugh looks very tired at the scene at 0:55, doesn't he?

[flamered24]

Frankly it seems that some ppl here have an irony bypass. He was being sarcastic for most of the interview and you could see the other actors were trying not to crack up

[Gummydevil]

que es lo ultimo que dice?

me lo pueden escribir?

[FenderStratoccaster]

What`s the name of the Jhonny Cash song just in the begining.??

[goceltics339]

ive been everywhere man, i think

not sure

[PepperWhite62]

I'VE been everywhere, but actually it was a cover that JC did of Hank Snow's.

[Natala00]

There is a rumor, though I do not know how much truth there is to it.

That during this time, Hugh was struggling with depression, and seeking counseling in regards to a lack of wanting to live. Not suicidal, he has a wife and 3 kids, but I do know he was in a car crash, and felt indifferent from it, which made him wonder why, he didn't care emotionally that he just was in a car crash.

On the up side, it was this real, gruff, dirty, and depressed appearance that won him the house role.

[Natala00]

Not sure if every detail of that is true, or just a rumor. I am dubious of the "not spending time with kids" and "cheating" part. You are definitely wrong about the fact that his "appearance in this movie" got him the House role. He auditioned for House role during the filming. He was in a bathroom and looked as I said, real, gruff, dirty, and had a depressed appearance.

[Natala00]

God such arrogance. I can't say you are very good friends of him and his family, if you go online talking about how he is a cheater and uncaring of his children, spreading rumors about his private life. I would think a "friend of the family" would be more respectful, even if it was true. But sure, I could also be wrong, your family know him, and you just happen to be a nasty person. Judging by how you act online, I can buy that.

[Natala00]

Hehe, who cares if he is a cheater and if he at some point avoided his children. The point is, that you come to YouTube, attack a random poster you don't actually disagree with, just so you can arrogantly brag about how you know somebody, who knows him. To prove it, true or not, you say some horrible disrespectful and private rumors about him, that no "friend" would share. I'm not trying to defend him, maybe he cheated, so what. I am saying you are either, an arrogant and nasty person or a liar.

[tenure4solntz]

Why are you still saying that stuff your wasting your typing skills ok. I said i don't care what you think.

[mnosh91]

even if he cheated and tried to avoid his children at a point that doesn't make him suicidal besides people are allowed to make mistakes from time to time but i don't agree that only his real, gruff, dirty, and depressed appearance that got him the role it's more that his flawless American accent and amazing talent that got him the role the apperence might have helped though..

[tenure4solntz]

I never agreed that the gruffness got him the part og House he got it becuase he is a amazing actor yes and his flawless american accent.

[yoojinchae]

tenure4solntz // Yeah we get that you don't care what others think of you. Were you bullied or something? I mean.. you sound just too antisocial. Go make some friends. Friend is as important as family.

[tenure4solntz]

Did I ever say Family was more important than friends no. I'm not anti-social. I just think my famliy is very iportant to me but I have friends. And were you bullied or something. was a stupid question everyone gets bullied at one piont in time or antoher.

[lauraleesmithagain]

Actually he did cheat on his wife during the making of a movie with the director years ago. It was all over the British Tabloids and Hugh had no choice but to admit it. He has openly admitted the affair and that it was a mistake, but he refuses to talk about it in interviews anymore.

[Colm24e]

besides the woman he cheated with looked exactly like his wife anyways....so it was more just loneliness and missing his wife

[stilmin]

i think that he is being funny, its called "deadpan"

[Bob13bDJKIU]

You know what...I think he's tired

[iluvJHCL]

i dont think hes depressed

[ImeldaLumos]

He seems depressed during the whole clip. The words he said:

"I didn't discover a single thing about myself..."

And he's very indifferent through out it, there's no real reaction. The same mood has been seen around that time when he diagnosed himself with clinical depression.

I'm similar to him in my moods, and it makes me feel better to know that people can like you anyway, and that is not so horribly bad after all.

[jdepplovr33]

i think that is probably the first time i have ever heard him say fuck haha but it was hot! :)

[magdalom]

jejeje yes i also think it was the 1st time

[jdepplovr33]

nope i just figured out that he had said fuck twice before this. it was in a movie called peter's friends haha :)

[aortasuds]

haha Aberdeen :L it aint that cold tbh. wher ei live is colder in Inverness :L

[msutta]

he is grumpy/agitated throughout b/c Hugh periodically suffers from clinical depression. if you have seen the audition tape he sent in for house MD, he says in the beginning that "things haven't been going very well" - he recorded that tape while filming for this movie. kinda sad but he's an awesome actor!!!!! House is the best show on TV!

[frostytheaussie]

some people are grumpy/agitated when holding press dealies in the middle of the desert wearing a heavy jacket.

[inspiredines]

It is said that Hugh suffers from depression because he can't be with his family and that he did not have these problems before he started shooting House, MD

[muala15]

I've read that Hugh has suffered from depression since the late 1990's.

[ECGBunni]

i love the very last part when he talks about how cold the namibian desert. i was there during the winter, froze my ass off in the morning and in the evening...i have full sympathy for it, and it brings back good memories...sorta

[SpikeandBuffyAngel]

hugh ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itsaclassic]

Hugh is so badass. Love him!

[tjolmsy]

Okay everyone who gave me a negative comment... PAY ATTENTION AT 0:15. I NEVER SAID HE SUCKED.

[Hatemyseld]

Hugh is just amazing, he's looking good, even when he's 'Grumpy'. But as said, he's been in the desert for a long time, and what would you be? Love his accent in this, just freeking good :)

[travpoet]

Wow, he seems a bit grumpy with the interviewer there at a couple point. I mean, not horribly rude, but crabby. I've never seen him be crabby in an interview before - I still think he's sexy, intillgent, witty, and charming! Anway, we all have our crabby days...some people get soooo upset when they see an actor crabby in an interview, but, hey, they're just people with off-days like the rest of us. They're not a seperate breed!

[WayneisAwesome]

you also have to remember that he was in the desert for about 6 months or something

[travpoet]

yes that's true. being in the desert for months filiming, away from family and stuff, that would be hard.

[MikeyLax18]

no he wasnt what are you talking about. he flew in and out via jet plane

[tjolmsy]

"Hugh sucks" lol

[xXashleytfaanXx]

he do not SUCK!

[tjolmsy]

Okay I never said he sucks... I was repeating what someone in the vid said. I love Hugh Laurie. He is one of my favorite actors. So don't freak out. Pay attention to the video.

[xXashleytfaanXx]

ok .. but u made it sound like u say he really suck & thats why ppl gave you thumbs down lol xD & ok im sorrry :]

i already saw the vid 100000 times i have the DVD lol

[tjolmsy]

Thanks. srry for freaking out too. I just wanted ppl to know what i really meant.

[xXashleytfaanXx]

Welcomee :]

& it's ok xD

[GemmaBabyyGemma]

explain to me why the namibian desert is colder than aberdenn :L

I Love Hugh

Aberdeens not tht cold haha

live close to it

[norak89898989]

lmfao nice ending XD

[pppdc55]

did he say "aberdeen"? lol

[PrisonRomyBreak]

He's not drunk i think he had a cold ore he was just awake.. ^^

[Li4e101]

oh yeah! he was the cop...I have seen him in other movies though...it'll come 2 me.

[bohemianhysteria]

1:21 I just realized that guy who said "Keep the camera on Hugh Laurie" was in House He played the cop from euphoria!

[lannerz182]

wow how did you figure that out...it looks like him but i cant tell if its really him or not.

[bohemianhysteria]

his voice. I thought she sounds familiar.

[lannerz182]

lol yeah, thats funny that you figured that out, i would have never been able to.

[Harlotito]

Hey, that's true!! The "Keep the camera on Hugh Laurie" man is the policeman in "Euphoria" (season 2).

Amazing eye you have, my dear!

[bohemianhysteria]

it's kind of weird, everyone keeps saying that. I guess the nickname my friend gave me eagle eye is good use XDD. Plus his voice. I thought it sounded like him too.

[Harlotito]

My ear is better than my eye, but in a million years I wouldn't be able to recall the guy's voice.

And yet, it's kinda hard to me (a not-English speaker as mother language) to recognize Hugh Laurie's American accent from the British. I mean, of course I can hear and recognize the difference, but his American accent sounds to me like a different voice from his natural accent.

[Steedrider]

Metaphorical appartment...? MOM, I WANT A HUGH FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!

[Steedrider]

I mean DEpartment....oh dear...see what influence he's got on women??

[FunkyMonkeyFM]

lol I can empathize ;D

[hughlover15]

huh

[hughlover15]

is he drunk at the end

[Mikazha]

no, just british:p

[TemperatureIndicator]

actually he is acting hugh =)

i mean im british, no drunkness in my voice ^_^

x

[hughlover15]

he is a smoker

[joana2604]

heehee metaphorical department...

[EIND12]

he was in flight of the phoenix i didn't know that i have the movie but i didn't see it yet. whats his character in the movie

[rudiecantfail13]

Ian

[runningfarfaraway]

omg that last few seconds there, hugh was so hot. yes and we his voice being rough and the swearing. he always looked like such a gentleman in interviews, here he looked like a rebellious house!

[mnosh91]

with a British accent:)

[MakotoMiura]

Hugh Laurie is so great <3

Love him.

[britLupine]

"this is less enjoyable than a rectal probe . . . though some of those, if handled properly . . . you know . . ."

lol, quite a dirty comment, actually.

can't help wondering how, or in what way, he knows about that, no disrespect meant of course.

i like at the end that his voice is all rough because he's smoking, you can see him exhale after he's done talking . . .

[bemoreunique]

i don't think he's smoking... that could have been just his breath on the cold air.

[runningfarfaraway]

maybe. but he's a smoker in real life, so he was probably smoking

[mnosh91]

actually from the way he looks too it seems like he has just woke up

[spogee]

Americans humor isn't HALF as good as British comedy, Australian comedy OR perhaps Canadian comedy.

[snuffle1]

Your just brimming with naivete arent you!

[wwetnasux]

I agree. There were some Good American comedians, but most of them are dead: George Burns, Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, etc.

[rudiecantfail13]

im not sure about australian comedy...im australian and most of 'our' best comedians come originally from else where.

[Soccerpersonz10]

nah, Lano and Woodley are good, but I agree with spogee, American comedy can sometimes be too upfront and easy to understand, which in my opinion is half the problem.

[kristeno1213]

yay. he swore and i got a little bit happy. whoot!

[angelalways91]

at around 1:24 or so, there's the guy who says keep the camera on Hugh Laurie. Is that the cop from Euphoria? Looks and sounds just like him.

[Kristen350]

It's Scott Michael Campbell and yes he was the cop in Euphoria! Good eyes and ears! ;-)

[angelalways91]

I notice tons of actors and actresses now just randomly from House episodes. Its amazing. oh! Sorry to be a bit random and off topic but we have the same name! =]

[ltdgtr]

"Hugh sucks!" Best.

[spaztasticFUCK]

None of the interveiws ever know when he's joking LOL except for like Craig Fergusen. Everyone else just nods and goes onto the next question, like an idiot.

He sounds so sexy when he says the f word haha...

[angelalways91]

I LOVE when Hugh's on Craig. They're absolutely hilarious together and they act like old buddies. Maybe it's a European thing, but yeah you're right. Other interviewers are a bit slow. They just pause a minute then laugh when he does and continue. Priceless. No wonder people think us, Americans are idiots.

[tineblondine]

I have lived both in England and the US and the humour of the two nations is just so different!

I saw the SNL bits on Youtube and thought 'my god, it must have been awkward for him', just because some of his jokes just weren't understood.

No offence meant, I'm not saying Americans haven't got humour - it's just DIFFERENT to English humour.

[bemoreunique]

Yeah, I just saw the first part, and it seemed rather awkward. I am quite a fan of English comedy so I understood all of his jokes, but it seems that the majority of Americans are a bit slow... I loved how he nailed it when he said that English comedy will have puns that will take Americans days to understand. Hahaha.

[malady7]

Hugh sucks! Hahahah oh you know they loved him.

[Buneqinha]

hoooooooo grumpy....x)

[Olive120]

HAHAHA yes it seems he can be grumpy, but we all still love him anyways hehe

[alexdonofrio]

haha! thats hilarious! ive never heard him say the F word before this! yay! LOL

[jcarrey]

wow he looked like he enjoyed that film. i love him though...what did he say at the last like 5 seconds of the video.

[alladinsane80]

he says: explain to me how the namibian desert is colder than f***ing Aberdeen

[Taurus0423]

I think it's just the environment (and people) affecting his overall mood.

[Thiefree]

Poor Hugh. He can be a grumpy beggar when he's filming.

[ronariverah]

Does she know he's taking the piss?
