Hugh Laurie became a major star long ago. While he has acted in plenty of great works, it was mostly the success of the long-running medical drama House that made him into a “house” hold name. After that show wrapped, though, many wondered what kind of direction the veteran actor’s career would take.
These days, the career is going in some very unexpected directions, and that eventually resulted in an image of Laurie looking so different that it shocked even his biggest fans. Just what is Laurie looking like, and what’s the real reason behind the change in his appearance? Keep reading to discover the answer!
The actor is looking very different
As we noted above, most of Hugh Laurie’s fans fell in love with him thanks to the blockbuster television show House. Obviously, Laurie’s titular character wore a number of different outfits throughout the different seasons. For the most part, however, fans got used to seeing House dressed in jackets, suits, and the occasional tuxedo, all of which helped Laurie cut a very dashing figure.
Because of that, the image above came as a shock to many of the actor’s biggest fans. His black pants and sneakers make him look instantly less formal than House ever did, as does his sweater and beanie. Sure, the outfit looks comfortable and all, but the image almost makes it seem like the paparazzi caught a photo of a tired Laurie taking out the trash.
Don’t worry, though…this isn’t the actor’s new daily fit. He’s actually rocking a new wardrobe for a very specific reason, and it’s one likely to make his fans very happy.
