Hugh Laurie has admitted that he doesn’t like to watch himself on TV.

Hugh has told Playboy magazine – which men honestly do buy for the articles… not – that viewers in the UK are of course familiar with his British accent and that’s made us unwilling to accept his American persona as House.
“I’m quite dubious anytime I hear any of my countrymen playing American,” he told the magazine, adding, “I think that’s why House doesn’t do so well in England… The British are wise to me. Any sort of linguistic affectation drives the English absolutely mad… Read more & comment »
