I'm sure many (American) people think Hugh Laurie is like House in real life too ๐Ÿ˜‚

American here, Iโ€™m a big fan of Stephen Fry so I knew about him from A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I know Iโ€™m an outlier in the statistics.

I was VERY surprised when I heard his real accent as a kid.

So were the production team of House. They totally thought he was an American and were surprised when he first spoke with them in his natural voice.
