HUGH LAURIE
Age: 47
Lanky funnyman Hugh Laurie exuded affable but foppish British charm on his 1990 sketch show A Bit Of Fry And Laurie, displaying a taste for loud shirts and bed-head hair. While his comic talent was clearly apparent, heart-throb was not a word ever likely to be attached to his name - until now. As a maverick medic in the US TV series House MD Hugh has audiences going wild for his blue-eyed, permanent stubble character.
Modest to the last, the London-based actor doesn't see what all the fuss is about. "Even my wife Jo doesn’t think I'm sexy,” he has said. “It’s a miracle we have children.” American magazines clearly disagree, with one describing him as “the thinking woman's sex symbol”.
