I ran across House when it first aired and I stopped and thought to myself "My god, that guy looks just like Hugh Laurie". I couldn't get over his wonderful American accent!
@@evancain4906 is it? lol. I didn't realize he was British, and so I found this video to hear his real accent. I'm curious what House would have been like with a British accent.
I actually watched House from a suggestion so I never knew about him until I checked the cast. I also didn't know he was British and when I watched the interview I was really just confused on who was talking.
Huge Laurie is a Quantum Genius if you asked me. He's able to personify his characteristics very easily and deduce calculating decisions. House MD is an example. Whoever had written the scripts must be more brilliant than someone who is acting on stage. Either this, or I'm still misdirected in the wrong perception. o_O
@@kimberlys8422 except for the lisp he gets because he doesn't know how to form the sounds naturally. Also watch his mouth when he speaks, it doesn't match the sounds. Once you notice you can never not see it.
You know someone is a good actor when their personality and the personality of the person they are acting as are absolutely different. It’s like an entirely different person from House it’s incredible
Oh, Jeeves and Wooster was amazing comedy show. You should definitely see it. First, you'd be able to accept his English accent easier. Second, you'd have much more appreciation for the both actors. Steven Fry was at least equally amazing in that.
so i just watched house md, searched google and then finding out his actually english like how on earth????? his american accent on house is spot on!!!! he really is one of the greatest actors out there!!!
@@amany247 Not sure why you're here. Unless you want to talk about the *House* of Islam 😊 But it's not a particularly flattering aspect of your religion, so I guess not?
To all the people who have commented their surprise at Hugh’s nationality, I beg you, go watch A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster, Blackadder and many more. He’s not just House, he’s a comedic genius and a brilliant actor
I’ve noticed that everyone’s voice gets deeper when they speak with an English accent - notice how much deeper his voice is than his higher-pitched American one
What the hell are you talking about? Every English person I know (which is actually quite a lot) tends to speak higher in their natural range than most americans. It's just a dialect thing, but what you're describing is so backwards
Actually English accent it is often spoken in a higher pitch than American accent, but the vowels are also rounder, so it may give some people the impression of a deeper sound when it is just a rounder sound.
If there's anything Hugh Laurie taught me, is that british people talk like that on purpose. His american accent is better than mine, and i was born here.
In 2015 I woke up in the hospital with a concussion, one of my doctors looked like Hugh Laurie, I had never watched the show House but seeing a face similar to one that I recognized really helped, and I've watched most all of house and it feels much better, with his work I've been recovering with a Laugh In My Heart
It's really a testament to Hugh Laurie's talent that every time House goes into his sarcasm crap on some innocent person, I always want to reach into the TV and slam his head into a wall.
when i look at him i can just imagine him being the sarcastic, brainy and dusty character of House... but in person he's the opposite... polite ,courteous and considerate
getting my premeds and going to medical school because of this wonderful man! Hoping that this man is still around once i finish :' < i wanna make him proud.
I never knew he is English! He was part of my childhood in Stuart Little, and then I became a fan of House MD, has an american accent in both, his normal English accent surprises me! Such a great actor!
He not wrong about boxing. I once had a sparring partner and when he set the timer for the ring for three minutes and let me tell you three minutes is an eternity.
The weird thing is, even though I knew who he was before ever watching House, I still find it jarring to hear his British accent. His American accent was so convincing that I forgot he was British despite previously seeing him in Blackadder, Sense and Sensibility, etc.
Ok, am I the only one that feels betrayed because I've only seen him on House M.D. and now I hear his true accent? It's like, he was lying to me this whole time lol.
100% agree. We get the good, the bad, the ugly -- and the EXCEPTIONAL out of this medical powerhouse group! I have an affinity for science and medical drama shows and so far, "House" is my favorite!
Attention House/ Hugh Laurie fans. I highly recommended you watch some of his british stuff to truly fall in love with him I can suggest: - Blackadder - Fry and Laurie - Jeeves and Wooster
American's first exposure to Laurie was the House series. He had a comedic career in England from 1980 to 2003. Teaming up with Stephen Fry and later Rowan Atkinson, he was hugely popular.
Hugh Laurie and Dominick West both surprised me with their English accent. Just in case, West played the character of Detective McNulty on the HBO series the Wire.
Dr House's impression of Hugh Laurie is spot on accurate. Didn't know he could pull off a British accent.
lmao
Michael Wolfe if this is a joke, i will get r wooshed but he is british
@@VisserZer0 It hurts to look at your comment.
sorry i'll delete it
lmfao
Lol his American accent is so good it sounds like he’s faking the English accent
haha same here; his character as house and the one in real life are complete opposites
Not that much, watch fry and Laurie reunited, it is very similar to house.
General American is the easiest accent to do
I ran across House when it first aired and I stopped and thought to myself "My god, that guy looks just like Hugh Laurie". I couldn't get over his wonderful American accent!
@@evancain4906 is it? lol. I didn't realize he was British, and so I found this video to hear his real accent. I'm curious what House would have been like with a British accent.
"Who do you box?"
"Uh... small children"
The most House thing he said in the whole interview
Emily Indri true
Lmaoooo he got me Dead 🤣🤣
@ this is really creepy to me because the episode I watched today was exactly the one where he says this.
@@bruhbruh1747 act your age, good episode
I knew it was coming and still had to laugh out loud
when you watch so much house you forget Hugh is English
I don't.
e u g h i dont know which i prefer
Exactly
Yeah I know
I actually watched House from a suggestion so I never knew about him until I checked the cast.
I also didn't know he was British and when I watched the interview I was really just confused on who was talking.
It’s not only weird hearing him speak in a British accent, but that he’s also saying please and thank you.
It's only weird if House is the first time you saw him on TV.
And being complimented on his humility 😂
chris ince very true
Also fry and Laurie or Jeeves and Wooster
when he said "how do you relax?" i really expected him to say vicodin
anna spanovich That was one of the not legal ways he refrained from mentioning lol
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus take some L theanine and drink a cup of camomile tea
He does a great American accent
How he didn't win an Emmy... beyond me.
Greatest Brit actor doing an American accent ever
kimberly s he did

Average Alien: dammit the down under Aussie got the chip out of the kids head.
Plot Twist: He's Australlian and he's faking an English and American accent to sharpen his acting skills
iWolfy_MC
I call bullshit. All us australians always carry a ground harness and a small jar of vegemite no matter where we go.
Holy shit. House was chase the whole time
@@deathbyseatoast8854 What if he was carrying Marmite?
James O'Sullivan
*We don’t talk about them*
Plot twist: He doesn't even speak English, he's acting.
You know someone is a good actor when their personality and the personality of the person they are acting as are absolutely different. It’s like an entirely different person from House it’s incredible
Great for house not for much else. Watch hugh try tackle the real emilotional stuff on house. But cringe
@@aarongottfried5595wtf are you talking about
this interview was 8 years ago, and during the interview they say house was 8 years ago... 16 years since the start of house MD... man i’m getting old
Oh my gosh. Yeah. To know 16 years have passed by.
Everyone dies.
you ARE old
Oh my god!! 👁️👄👁️ I just realised that.
18 years now. A whole child of legal age has grown.
The fact that it’s weird hearing him speak with an English accent just proves what a great actor he was in House.
Him saying small children was a reminder that he is a comedian. I've never seen it, but he had a comedy show for a time with Stephen Fry.
And he was in Blackadder, one of the greatest comedy series of all time.
Oh, Jeeves and Wooster was amazing comedy show. You should definitely see it. First, you'd be able to accept his English accent easier. Second, you'd have much more appreciation for the both actors. Steven Fry was at least equally amazing in that.
Ive seen some sketchs. Very funny. Especially the "Good Morning" one.
A bit of frye and Laurie
@@johnbeaker8721 beat me to it, he is fantastically silly as George.
02:00 small children😎😎😂😂 his inner House came out
His inner Hugh Laurie came out... That's his sense of humour.
House and Laurie are two completely different people in every way imaginable my god. What a talented man
No god but Allah

so i just watched house md, searched google and then finding out his actually english like how on earth????? his american accent on house is spot on!!!! he really is one of the greatest actors out there!!!
When he says New Yuuurk, you can kinda tell.
Boy, wait till you see him in Blackadder
No god but Allah

But it's not a particularly flattering aspect of your religion, so I guess not?
Conan: "Who do you box? Who do you fight?"
Hugh: ~idk whatever face~ "Small children..."
That made me laugh out loud!!
Are you kidding me? He is not an American????
No never was
Nope good ol British lad with a fucking good American accent.
Never heard of "Blackadder", of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie", etc.? I say this with no negative connotation, but know your classics
Legit comedy genius. He was in Cambridge Footlights (British comedy royalty).
Daniël De Not to mention Jeeves and Wooster :)
GREGORY HOUSE as Hugh Laurie.
Hugh I’ve been depressed and couch ridden. You make me so happy and I’m so glad you did House. I am watching it for the first time and I’m in love!
To all the people who have commented their surprise at Hugh’s nationality, I beg you, go watch A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster, Blackadder and many more. He’s not just House, he’s a comedic genius and a brilliant actor
Its weird to see dr. House not limping..
Probably made a bet with Wilson
Well, he was sitting the whole time so it doesn’t look THAT different....
What do you mean? He sat the whole time
Not if you came to this video from seson 3
Hard to tell from someone who's sitting the whole time
British wit and charm are irresistible
I love how at times when he is making a joke or just speaking, you can hear his american accent/house-voice come out :) 0:53 a good example
Omg why I suddenly imagined him saying it to Wilson or Cuddy 😭
His accent is kinda disorienting lol
Sharon Cortez ikr, house is such a not proper person, so hearing his body with a proper sounding British voice is weiirrrddd
Thanks Hugh Laurie for playing a great character and so many characters who have gotten well deserved justice because you played them.
His sarcasm is so enjoyable 😂
I’ve noticed that everyone’s voice gets deeper when they speak with an English accent - notice how much deeper his voice is than his higher-pitched American one
his voice is actually deeper with his american accent
What the hell are you talking about? Every English person I know (which is actually quite a lot) tends to speak higher in their natural range than most americans. It's just a dialect thing, but what you're describing is so backwards
Actually English accent it is often spoken in a higher pitch than American accent, but the vowels are also rounder, so it may give some people the impression of a deeper sound when it is just a rounder sound.
Try listening to him in Blackadder or Jeeves and Wooster for once, then try telling us again that you really think his American accent is higher
Flyingferrets5 why are you upset. I didn’t say this for no reason.
If there's anything Hugh Laurie taught me, is that british people talk like that on purpose.
His american accent is better than mine, and i was born here.
It's a crime that he hasn't won an Emmy
In 2015 I woke up in the hospital with a concussion, one of my doctors looked like Hugh Laurie, I had never watched the show House but seeing a face similar to one that I recognized really helped, and I've watched most all of house and it feels much better, with his work I've been recovering with a Laugh In My Heart
Hugh Laurie is an amazing musician.
He sounds so calm and Humble in his English accent 😭
One of the top actors alive atm.
i just came here from house MD and didn't realise his accent was fake, when i heard it i fully said "what the actual fuck" to an empty room.
Omg he pulled off the American accent plus the higher pitch in the same time! Brilliant
Amazing performance and character created for HOUSE One of the best medical series ever made during that decade BRILLIANT
... he should be sherlock holmes :(
I think Benedict Cumberbatch is a better fit to play Sherlock, but Hugh is great in House.
BlackoutKalico Beta, his character is based on Sherlock Holmes
@@mr_go0ber yeah in the show house lives at 221B, the same address as sherlock Holmes.
@@lucase6077 Benedict Cumberbatch is boring
BlackoutKalico Beta house is a reimagined version of Holmes the writer even gave him a similar name
Hugh"s comebacks are so perfect and so it's Conan's. They are a treat.
Slapped means something different over here.
Hugh Laurie is an absolute genius and a great man. I love his work.
I'm British but listening to Hugh Laurie speak makes me feel like a commoner
He is the spitting image of my former kung fu instructor who is a Scouser. A Scouse Hugh Laurie… now that’s a total mind f*ck!
I love his voice
The voice is so Beautiful
It's really a testament to Hugh Laurie's talent that every time House goes into his sarcasm crap on some innocent person, I always want to reach into the TV and slam his head into a wall.
He does make me happy.
I’m 12 and I’m in season 4 of house on prime and I love the show seriously-
seeing House laugh is weird
If you think that’s weird, look up clips of Jeeves and Wooster or A Bit of Fry and Laurie. He was primarily a comedic actor before House.
his american accent is truly one of the best ive ever seen
i swear to god Hugh Laurie is such a good actor that as the interview goes on and i see what he's really like, his appearance begins to change.
That one episode where he does a broken English accent suddenly became so much more appreciable
OH MY GOD!
HOW
JUST HOW CAN HE MAKE SUCH AN AMAZING AMERICAN VOICE
This is the first time I'm hearing Hugh Laurie speak in his own accent. Wow, He does the best American accent.
when i look at him i can just imagine him being the sarcastic, brainy and dusty character of House... but in person he's the opposite... polite ,courteous and considerate
Jennifer Morrison's real personality was a shocker
@@meenamjah this is also a character he is playing
"these are the legal outlets"
i would give my left arm to smoke pot with this man....
I want a comedy of Robert Downey Jr and High Laurie.
But Robert has an English accent and Hugh has an American one
Do a season of True Detective set London 1888 with the two of them, this is an intentionally disastrous idea but I would watch the fuck out of it :P
BOTH literally fooled us with their ethnic backgrounds 🤣🤣
Maybe they can sometimes switch unanounced
getting my premeds and going to medical school because of this wonderful man! Hoping that this man is still around once i finish :' <
i wanna make him proud.
Hoping you make it.
The contrast between his English and American accent is startling.
This is incredible! I love House - react to it twice a week
came to watch interviews because i cannot believe he is english omg. the way he plays house is so insane i cant fathom hes a respectable person irl
I'll never get over the fact that he isnt American, his accent is incredibly good and it fooled someone from England
Therapist: house speaking like a normal person and walking without a cane doesn’t exist
This video:
Me:aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I never knew he is English! He was part of my childhood in Stuart Little, and then I became a fan of House MD, has an american accent in both, his normal English accent surprises me! Such a great actor!
This is very late but you should watch Black Adder it's a comedy show with Huge and Mr.Beans actor I recently watched it its great
He spoke American for 8 seasons and watching this is way trippy
He not wrong about boxing. I once had a sparring partner and when he set the timer for the ring for three minutes and let me tell you three minutes is an eternity.
And he is still in character!!
My mouthed dropped when I heard how high his voice really is I'm used to Dr House deep voice
The weird thing is, even though I knew who he was before ever watching House, I still find it jarring to hear his British accent. His American accent was so convincing that I forgot he was British despite previously seeing him in Blackadder, Sense and Sensibility, etc.
Started Watching house and I don't want it to be over forever
"you make people happy" he's so goddamn right,that show helped me so much
I'm obsessed with Hugh Laurie.
Ok, am I the only one that feels betrayed because I've only seen him on House M.D. and now I hear his true accent? It's like, he was lying to me this whole time lol.
House's voice is so different than Hugh Laurie's voice. It's amazing!
his accent is incredible
I love this man he is unbelievable in every way.👌💙
House does a good english accent
hE is ActUally bRiTish hE jusT fAkes An AmErICan aCcEnt

He's English lol
Whoosh on all of you

Best ever medical series in the history.....never before ever after....each and every character stays in everyone's mind.....house and Wilson rocks😎
100% agree. We get the good, the bad, the ugly -- and the EXCEPTIONAL out of this medical powerhouse group! I have an affinity for science and medical drama shows and so far, "House" is my favorite!
had no idea he was English! poped up in my youtube home page for reasons that no one will ever know
from early "Black Adder" through "House" to realy amazing musical performances. Listen to his rendition of "St. James Infirmary"
What a legend
I can’t get over his voice. It’s literally like a voice over. In gobsmacked🤯😲
This is funny he sounds like he's an American doing a British accent.
It's amazing how people's voice pitch changes slightly when they use an accent other than their natural one.
Dr House now has a foreign accent syndrome..
Attention House/ Hugh Laurie fans. I highly recommended you watch some of his british stuff to truly fall in love with him
I can suggest:
- Blackadder
- Fry and Laurie
- Jeeves and Wooster
Hugh : Hi
Conan : laughs out hard
That's when you know that you are funny by nature.
Description is on point, your a god
2 favorite people in one video...
American's first exposure to Laurie was the House series. He had a comedic career in England from 1980 to 2003. Teaming up with Stephen Fry and later Rowan Atkinson, he was hugely popular.
Actually he played the dad in Stuart Little before House
HOLLY SHIT how did i not know hugh was on conan??!!!
You'd think he would have some similarities to the character he played, but NONE! It's astounding!
Dang... i'll never get used to Hugh's real voice. lol XD
Jesus Christ conan laughs hysterically at everything
Him resting his right hand on his right leg all the time made me think that his leg does actually hurt 😁
2 of my favourite people
one of the best persons and actor
I never watch House, but know a some clip of it, and i cant believe that Hugh Laurie is Dr.House, the man who played George in Blackadder.
I loved the prince George character.
i didnt know he was british 😭 he does such a good American accent
Watching this I feel like they are dubbing House with a British actor’s voice. 😁
Omg this interview was a day before my birthday!
Hugh Laurie and Dominick West both surprised me with their English accent. Just in case, West played the character of Detective McNulty on the HBO series the Wire.
cbrown1084 West went to Eton School, which if you don’t know is so posh they have “Skull & bones” members as waiters.
Yes. He speaks CORRECT English. Sounds wonderful! He's the Best! 😎
No one ever has benefited more from a beard than Hugh Laurie. I can’t believe he doesn’t wear the beard in his regular life.
Love "House" and Hugh Laurie!
