The role of Dr. House glorified Hugh Laurie, but ... spoiled his life

Famous British actor Hugh Laurie, despite the good fees and crazy popularity of the series "Doctor House", recalls years of work in the project as a real nightmare. And even the impressive earnings could not make Laurie change her attitude to the role of the odious doctor-diagnostician. For every new series that appeared on the air weekly, the actor received a quarter million pounds sterling!

Mr. Lori confesses that his character was something like a "golden cage". At times he even had an eerie idea: Laurie dreamed of getting sick, or getting into some other unpleasant situation, so that it would be possible to rest at least a couple of days from the disgusted work.

Not a day without paparazzi

It turned out that for 8 years, while the series was being shot, Hugh Laurie daily experienced troubles due to meetings with reporters and paparazzi. They chased Dr. House just everywhere. Because of this, he even had to glass the car. But even this could not give the television star an extra privacy. Journalists managed to find it even in the supermarket, when he went out shopping.

Completion of the series was a real relief! Finally, he can belong to himself, and do his favorite things: read, walk with a dog, listen to music.

The actor and musician "zareksya" again act in such large-scale projects:

"I know that working in film has a lot of positive sides. Unlike television, I do not get recognized so often on the street, the paparazzi have forgotten the way to my house, no one look at what I'm buying at the grocery store. When I was in the series, which went on air every week, I could not afford to ride a car without tinted glass, but now I can! "
