Real size of the small screen thanks to his role of Gregory House in the series Dr House, Hugh Laurie is however not the only member of his family to be famous. Ran Laurie, her father, was a star, but in a completely different field.
Sometimes there are celebrities with unsuspected family ties. Some may not know that Doc Gyneco is none other than Teddy Riner’s cousin. Same scenario for the singer Angèle and Stromae, who discovered their family ties through a genealogical study. Kingsley Coman, a real nugget of the French football team, is also the cousin of a famous Miss France.
On the other hand, sometimes there are “daughters and sons of”, who manage to become famous thanks to the success of their parents. Long before making a splash in The Idol, most movie fans already knew the face of Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp. The same for Deva Cassel, the daughter of Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel. Nevertheless, there are certain stars who maintain the mystery about the identity of their famous parents. Which seems to have been the case for Hugh Laurie, the star of the series Dr House.
Hugh Laurie is the son of an Olympic champion
One thing is certain, Hugh Laurie is far from the only member of his family to have known the celebrity. Indeed, Ran Laurie, the actor’s father, was also a star, but in a completely different field. In 1948, the latter was indeed one of the athletes to have received a gold medal at the London Olympics. But in what area did the father of the British star manage to mark the history of the famous competition?
It is indeed in rowing, a water sport, that Ran Laurie has managed to win at the age of 33. Next door, Hugh Laurie’s father, who died in 1998, was a medical doctor. A profession reminiscent of the role of the actor in the series Dr House…
