What has Hugh Laurie said about his marriage to Jo Green?
Although Hugh and Jo have had over thirty years of happily married life, Hugh has opened up in the past about tougher times. The actor, who spent months at a time stateside while filming for HBO medical drama House (in which he played the lead), told the Daily Mail back in 2010 about what it was like being away from home a lot.
"I wouldn't say that doing the series has made my marriage easier. Better? I don't know about that either," he explained, adding: "But the truth is that whatever challenging situation you're in, somebody somewhere has got a much more extreme version. So I think one ought to shut up and not moan about it."
