Hugh Laurie has apologised after his online exchange with a journalist who criticised House triggered a pile-on, claiming that he was “slightly drunk and already upset” when he responded to her.
Laurie is perhaps best known for playing caustic diagnostician Dr Gregory House in the hit American drama, which ran for eight seasons between 2004 and 2012. It followed House and a team of fellow doctors at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital as they attempted to solve medical mysteries.
