In his life, Hugh Lori studied very much. At first he graduated from Oxford Primary School, then - the Yaton College (this is the most famous private school for boys in the UK), even later - the Faculty of Anthropology and Archeology of the University of Cambridge. In parallel, played in the rock band (still as a schoolboy), becoming a student, participated in various theatrical productions. Incredible activity for long-grade young men, torn by thousands of complexes. Or maybe he leaned on the stage to somehow hide from those who surround his timidity? Then you can safely say that this trick has succeeded. Hugh Laurie not only made his way to a large screen, but thanks to his passion, the theater still met a wonderful girl in his student years, for whom the mountains were ready and with which he supported friendly relations so far.
Mind and feelings
This today, Emma Thompson has two Oscars in his arsenal (for the role in the film "Manor Howard-and" in 1993 and for the scenario of the film "Mind and Feelings" in 1996). But in the distant years of study at the University of Cambridge, Emma was a subtitle "gray mouse". She did not like noisy companies, preferring to hide somewhere in a secluded corner with a book in her hands. She reminds someone, isn't it? That is why, probably, Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson, having met in the walls of the University of Cambridge, almost immediately became a pair. And soon Emma, after his beloved, he also seriously thought about the career of the actress. But it is this particular fate, which she was literally everyone surrounding, she tried to avoid so actively.
... Emma Thompson was born in a creative family. Her father Eric Thompson and the mother of Phillid Lowe - both actors. True, not particularly successful. Therefore, the money in the family was not enough. Parents all the forces gave to earning an extra pound-friend, and their upbringing was to ensure that the daughter at least would be decently behaved. Watching their difficult life, Emma said that she certainly doesn't want to go to their footsteps and repeat their mistakes.
After school, Emma, the girl is rather awesome, entered the University of Cambridge, where he studied English literature. However, after meeting with Hugh Laurie, everything went differently. Not only that she fell in love with her ears, so also for Hugh, enthusiastic with scenic experiments, became his partner on Sketchs in the productions of the amateur theater team "Footlights Dramanatic Club" (Laurie was even his president). But I assured familiar what acting is not her!
Emma and Hugh lived together almost all student years and a period of time after the end of the university. So far they found that they are together - not in love with a couple, but rather brother and sister passionate about one favorite thing. Despite the young age, they had enough wisdom to stay just friends. And this friendship, which is surprising, lasts until today. Emma is aware of all events in Hugh's life. And Laurie, despite his image of an avid cynic, pretty close to the heart made problems in the personal life of Thompson. And these problems were very serious! ..

The third is superfluous
She was almost thirty when she got married. It seemed to Emma then, this marriage was for life. Its chosen was the famous British actor and director Kenneth Bran, with whom she met on the set of one of the television serials. They got married in 1989 and were practically inseparable, distributing interviews to the left and right and literally radiating happiness.
And five years later, in 1994, Emma learned from the "goodwires", that on the set of the film "Frankenstein" at her husband, who was still publicly admitted in love for her, actually twisted a serious novel - with actress helen Bonham Carter .
Of course, Emma tried to somehow change the situation, return her husband to the family. But everything was in vain. Later she will say bitterly in one of the interviews: "If a woman decided to tie his life with a strong man and endowed with Harisma, she should be ready for what he can change her. This risk exists. Persons with great attractive power are very dangerous people from this point of view. Partly their strength - in the ability to suppress and subjugate others. "
Realizing that it is not able to change the situation, Emma two years later decided to declare the world about the rupture with her husband. And I did it immediately after the Oscar Night, where she received the cherished statuette for the "best adapted scenario" to the film "Mind and Feelings". Thus, once again confirming the strange admission that Oscar does not tolerate near the laureants of any other male presence.
That divorce was very difficult for her. Years later, Emma admits that depression almost brought it to suicide. She then could neither eat or drink nor sleep. "I sat around the clock in the old Kennet sweater and could not think about anything. Although no, I exaggerate. The only thing I could have to work. I got up, literally crawled to the desk and writing a script for "reason and feelings." This job saved me. "
The film became a salvation also because Emma got acquainted with his future husband, actor Greg Wise. An employed fact: Before filming, a friend of Greg, who possessed the gift of foresight, said that during work on this painting, he will meet his future wife. The first one saw Greg on the site was Kate Winslet, which he accepted for his narrowed, immediately twisting with her a novel. But - quickly thought. And only then drew attention to Emma.
She, of course, doubted for a long time, whether she should have a new relationship. "I was not sure that after another failure my heart would not break into the same time. After all, heart pain - the strongest, terrible, I experienced it many times and I can, it seems to me, to compare only with torture in the Gestapo - when people drank nails there. " It was embarrassed by her and a significant difference in the age - Emma older than Grega for seven years. But he somehow was able to convince her in his reliability.
A few years after acquaintance, the actors were born a daughter Guy, and when the girl was four years old, Greg and Emma officially legalized their relationship. In marriage, they entered just for the sake of baby, which too often began to ask questions why her parents are not married. They generally do a lot exclusively for the sake of Guy.
On the set of the painting "Mind and Feelings" at Kate Winslet and Greg Wiza rose a novel. But the actor quickly realized that this was not his fate. Frame from the movie "Mind and Feelings".
"I have a late child, so I'm ready to go on a lot, if only our girl was good," says Emma. - So, it is thanks to Guy, I'm increasingly speaking as a screenwriter. Work in the theater or shooting in cinema implies that you have practically no house for five days a week. And I am writing the scenario at home, so I can take my daughter to school, then pick it up, make lessons with her. I want to enjoy every second communication with her! "
But when I still have to remember your vocation of the actress (sometimes Emma herself writes scenarios for himself), they and her husband are planning their work schedules so that their daughter constantly got a particle of parental attention. "For example, when four months in a row, I was busy on setting the film" My Horrible Nanny-2 ", Greg almost did not work. And then he starred in the painting about the writer and the artist of the XIX century John Raskin, and then I was already sitting at home. "
What is surprising, many years later, Emma Thompson not only forgiven the one who once destroyed her marriage and delivered so many problems (this is, of course, about Helen Bonham Carter), but also managed to make friends with her. "And you know what I think: we are very similar to me, both are a bit crazy, both in difficult fashion relationships. Apparently, so my ex-husband and loved us both. In general, Helena is wonderful. " Therefore, two actresses were often filmed in the same projects. For example, in films about Harry Potter.
By the way, the civilian marriage was Helena Bonham Carter and Kenneth Breya lasted for a whole five years, while at some party she did not introduce the beloved with the art director of Lindsay Brannok, on which he eventually married. Well, and Helena Bonam Carter himself later married the director Tim Berton ("Planet Monkeys", "Sleeping Looschina", "Edward's Hand-Scissors"), who for the sake of her dancer Lisa Mary. Couples - Two Children: Son Billy Raymond Burton and Daughter Nell Burton.
Left turn
Well, what's the lady's pet Hugh Laurie? How was his fate after parting with Emma Thompson? This year is fulfilled exactly a quarter of a century, as Hugh is married to the former theater producer with inconspicuous appearance and male name Joe Green. What is surprising, his wedding took place in the same year as the marriage of Emma Thompson with Kenneth Forest. But if those relationships have not passed the test of time, then Hugh and Joe together so far. Although there were not the most simple times in their livelife. During filming in Africa (even before the appearance of Dr. Gregor House), Hugh headed a novel with director of Audrey Cook. At that time, Luri and Green marriage turned sixteen years ...
Joe Green does not have spectacular external data. But Hugh Lori appreciates her for wisdom, understanding and support. Perhaps so their marriage has already lasted a quarter of a century. Photo: All Over Press.
"Hugh Laurie changes his wife," some tabloids came out with such headlines almost immediately, as an actor turned out to be in bed at Audrey. He seemed to him that no live soul know about their novel (he himself doubted whether all this really happened to him), however, as it turned out, the whole world as if they stood next to their love lies.
"An attempt to imagine that my wife felt, reading the article, changed me once and for all," Laurie frankly confessed in one interview. - I was shocked by how much pain then caused all participants in this story. I thought Joe would not forgive me. But women are strange creatures. As a son, brother, husband and father of daughter, I can say that every woman is issued a man with a thick, poorly translated instruction, in which half of the pages lack. "
Yes, yes, his wife, the creature is strange, was able to forgive the public to betray her husband. True, with the condition that Hugh will begin to attend a psychiatrist and take all the drugs that he will write it. It is difficult to say whether the doctor "Dr. House" helped or this he himself is so conscious, but since then Laurie has become almost in the perfect husband. He almost nurses his spouse and with each other case sings the diffilams of her wisdom and patience. Even when he had to settle in another country for many years, their marriage, surprisingly, was not shaken.
Overa
In America, from Native Britain, Hugh Laurie flew in for filming in the series, who glorified him to the whole world. True, he himself did not really understand why he, the Englishman, was approved for the role of a hundred percent American. The fact that the series "Dr. House" remained the same mystery that the series "Dr. House" not only lasted longer than one season, but also became so popular.
"The first months I lived at the hotel and did not unpack the suitcase at all," Laurie says. - It seemed to me: here quite a bit - and I will fly back home. But then from the hotel I moved to a removable apartment, and later I got at all my home - by itself, in English style. And the series was shot and filmed ... "
His family initially refused to change the rainy London on Sunny Los Angeles. According to Joe, their three children will not benefit. "For a long time we lived for two countries, as it was believed that the movement of my loved ones in Los Angeles would not solve all the problems. I still disappeared a day and night on the set, but to tear the children from my native places is not the best idea. But then we still decided to reunite. "
Hugh received world fame after the role in the TV series "Dr. House". After that, the female attention to his person was noticeably increased, but Laurie still remained the perfect family man. The actor admits that the year from year to his relationship with his wife is becoming
Oddly enough, the long separation even strengthened their relationship. Today Hugh Laurie and Joe Green are trying not to part for a minute. Since Lori's lion's share of his time spends on trips to cities and weights as a musician with his group, Joe accompanies him while traveling. Together with him she was in Moscow last summer. True, the Russian paparazzi did not particularly pay attention to an inconspicuous lady of indefinite age and appearance, looking for spectacular long-legged beauties in his surroundings. But for Lori, it is more expensive than all the winners of beauty contests. "Joe and Joe perfectly complement each other. She provides me strong home rear. And I feel that over the years we get closer to each other. "
