Haters will be haters, whether you're an Englishman who's stuck in the past wishing Hugh had continued working with Fry, or an American who feels "House" is a sellout for expanding his horizons to music and beauty. The man is moving his career forward and getting his name out there, what's wrong with that? I can tell you he doesn't need money cause he makes $400,000 for EACH episode of House and there are 158 listed. I personally like seeing Hugh both on the show and off to see the real Hugh L.
If you listen closely he actually says "45......and a bit" which is a very Hugh Laurie way to admit his true age. Oh and for all those who say they are "disappointed" or that he should be "better than this" did you know that every penny he makes for repping L'Oreal is being donated to charity? He's mentioned that fact a couple of times in recent interviews.
L'Oreal are geniuses. They actually managed to get Hugh Laurie, a nice reminder that with middle-age can come success and maybe greater looks - a complete contradiction to the 'youth-matters-more-than-anything' attitude they count on to sell their face-creams - to lie about his age! Everyone knows he's in his 50s, so I guess we're all supposed to think, 'well if even Hugh Laurie's not prepared to come to terms with getting older ... better splash out on some face-cream and lie like hell too'.
My opinion on this advert is divided. I love everything Hugh Laurie does, but I thought he was better than this. He could've done it the Matthew Fox way and done it solo. I'm still in shock.
Hugh is actually 52, but obviously they made him say 45 because no person in their right mind would believe, even with some miracle cream that someone that gorgeous could be older than 45.
@VamLoveAndKisses If you look at an interview they actually wanted to make him 40 because people around the world (including a mistake on Imdb) thought he was only 40!
I am huge fan of Hugh Laurie and this ad is hilarious. I don't care that he has done a commercial so long as its funny and not advertising something awful like a bank or insurance!
@fluketobase actually he did this for free..in fact; for charity LOL Now if it was George Clooney...then for sure your notion for celebs not having enough money...then i can believe what your saying :)
