Hugh Laurie - Lauries Gun Training Disappointment
HOUSE star HUGH LAURIE was bitterly disappointed not to have been given gun training for new movie STREET KINGS - insisting he would love to be taught how to handle a weapon.
The British actor plays a police officer in the forthcoming film but, unlike his co-stars Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker, his character does not take part in any shoot-out scenes - so Laurie was forced to sit out the training sessions.
He says, "I desperately wanted to go. But I'm sort of a desk-bound beaurocrat who feels that gunplay on the streets is beneath him. I was wearing a holster with a gun, but I never got to touch it."
