Total Hottie Hugh Laurie Robbed!

Hugh Laurie, the super-sexy star of House, recently had his home robbed.

HOUSE star HUGH LAURIE has been left “unnerved” after his Los Angeles home was ransacked by thieves.

The British actor had his laptop and a number of other personal items taken in the raid on his new $4 million (GBP2.2 million) Hollywood Hills mansion earlier this month (Sep08).

Laurie, who relocated to the U.S. in 2004 after landing the role of Dr. Gregory House in the hit medical drama, and his wife Jo were asleep when his house was targeted. No one was harmed in the break-in.
Laurie, 49, revealed the news of the burglary after arriving late for a U.S. TV interview to promote the forthcoming series of House.

After apologising to the TV crew, he said, “We were in bed when it (the burglary) happened. I came down this morning and said, ‘Where’s the laptop?’ Then we realised.”

The star is the latest celebrity in the area to fall victim to burglars – it is believed the same group of thieves are responsible for raids at the homes of singer Faith Hill and her husband Tim MCGraw, and movie studio boss Sherry Lansing, who all live nearby.

A police source says, “The raid on Hugh Laurie was very similar to ones we have been investigating in that area. It is lucky that he did not disturb the burglars or we could have been looking at something much more serious.”

You know, I read this several times, and I just kept thinking the same things over and over again:

1) He’s married??? That bastard!!!! and
2) I wonder if there was a sex tape on that laptop.

You guys, I’ve been doing this job too long.

  • haha, i was pissed about the married thing too!
    but i think it’s super cool that we didn’t know that about him, like as in… NOT being able to recite the full name and birthday and personal medical history of each member of a celebrity’s family is really kind of interesting.
    but still, my prevailing sentiment here would be the following:
    GET OFF MY BOYFRIEND, STUPID ROBBERS!!!

  • I fully concur with 1 & 2, altho I did already know he was married (UK gossip rags are fun to read). But he’s no less a bastard for being that way.

    and I am way more curious than I should be about what was on that laptop….. {:O

  • Guess they either forgot to sign up for or activate their security system when they moved into their $4,000,000 house?

    I know they won’t make that mistake again!

  • Ya, seriously, isn’t a group of security guards part of the 4 million dollar home? I guess I wouldn’t know seeing as I pay 480 dollars a month to live in an apartment in Toledo, OH. Fuck my life.

  • He has kids too. But google pics of him and his wife and you will feel muuuuch better, I thought she’d be so much more hot! Looking at very old pics of them though they both look pretty goofy, he just got better with age…she didnt.

  • Not only is he married, I’m pretty sure he has three kids. He also has a brother that helped him get the House job.

  • People suck. On saturday I was working the cash register at rite aid when a guy came in and was like I have a gun open the register. (That’s what I get for moving to philly?) Being robbed is SCARY.

  • Okay no joke, every time I tell someone that I have the hots for him people look at me like I am crazy! My boyfriend is just confused by it. He may be 27 years older then me but DAMN! (Mike Rowe You are still my number one! Hugh makes a close call though!!)

  • He is absolutely delicious. there was a picture of him & his wife in Star this week, and she is just old-looking. Like Sharon Osbourne without the plastic surgery & make-up.

  • your headline is wrong.
    you cannot “rob” a house
    a house gets burglarized
    a person gets robbed
    :)
    <3 i love you

  • Krissy T. –

    I’ve always thought Mike Rowe and Hugh looked like they could be brothers!! Both def. hot! I can’t believe people think your hots for him are strange, even my boyfriend said he is sexy lol

  • He is definately goodlooking and I’m glad to see that has a real wife and not a flakey Hollywood wife. I hope he will always honor his marriage and family, and not let the restlessness of Hollywood get to him.

  • I mean who really cares about his wife. Honestly, i can’t make my mind up on whether I love House our Hugh. And also, I believe that maybe I’ve really got a thing for HUGHs, you know-Laurie,Grant, Jackman.
    Anyway all I hope is that he had insurance.

  • It’s the eyes. He has such expressive, big, blue eyes. In general, he has a very expressive face. Wonderful for humor, but there is something deep and sorrowful about the eyes. He’s got a sexy smile, but it is the eyes that make him look like he could use some caring.

    Perhaps that is how he gets away with playing the Evil Dr. House without people hating him. There is something sensitive about his eyes that really can’t be hidden. He doesn’t have the cold eyes of a sociopath. No matter how much of an arse he plays, there is some sort of sweetness in the eyes that gets through. I don’t think it can be hidden. Interesting.
