Acting can be an emotional strain for some actors but it could always be worse.  You could land a job as a grumpy Doctor with a severe limp.  That show could also be a hit and land you a few million $’s a year so it’s a good tradeoff.

Hugh Laurie of “House, M.D.” fame is starting to feel the strain of his fake limp for real.  The shifting of his natural walk is beginning to take a toll on his knee and hip.

“The show might last to series seven, eight or nine but I don’t know if I will,” he said last night, “because I’m starting to lose my knees a little bit.

“It’s a lot of hip work. There’s things going badly wrong. I need to do yoga.”

The 50-year-old star, a winner of two Golden Globes and just nominated for his third Best Actor Emmy, is about to launch the sixth series of what has become the most watched television drama.

More than 80million ­people tune in every week to follow the cantankerous, cane-wielding ­clinician as he unravels medical mysteries.

Dr. House was crazy before he moved to the States. Here Hugh Laurie is Arthur Meddlycott, slightly mad, who goes to the psychiatrist to be cured.

For the record, this Psychic actually never claimed he could bend spoons with my hands. That was the host’s claim. The Psychic powers just flow through the hands and cause the spoons to bend…that’s how it’s done! Thanks to Fry and Laurie for clearing that up for us.

A new concept for a current affairs talk show by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, from series 3 of ‘A Bit Of Fry And Laurie.’ Even as Laurie as graduated to the hit show “House” we can still see him doing this in the photocopy room.
