walking on broken glass

[moonwise]

Huh. I had no idea that Hugh Laurie was in Annie Lennox's video for "Walking on Broken Glass." It makes sense - he probably walked right off the set of Blackadder. (John Malkovich I knew about.)

Sometimes I wonder where all the Hugh Laurie fangirls were when he was playing a dandified fop.

kerridwynne brought this to my attention. I really love Annie Lennox's red dress in that video. Did you know Hugh Laurie also played an advisor to King Louis in The Man in The Iron Mask? Guess he's no stranger to powdered wigs and tights, heh.

That's what makes me giggle about House/Wilson shippers. When Hugh Laurie was prancing around in tights and makeup, they probably wouldn't have been nearly as interested.

Probably not. But I love Wilson sans House so it's okay. ;p

I wonder if that technically makes this video a Dangerous Liaisons/Blackadder crossover.

...darn, I think I just broke my own brain.

Love the idea, though. :D

I was one of those fangirls! In fact I can't even comprehend him as House...to me he'll always be the Prince Regent.

My husband feels the same way you do - he finds the elevation of Hugh Laurie to Teh Hawt Sex Symbol quite laughable in light of his stint on Blackadder.

Ahh I remember that video. Good times.

She did some great videos for Diva. Sadly, I can't seem to find the video for "Why" on YouTube.

Dude, I remember A Bit of Fry and Laurie!

I'd forgotten he was in this video though.

Ha! (Although I didn't really recognize him until he started making weird faces.)
