Hugh Laurie: Dr. House is in Athens! See photos

The British actor, Hugh Laurie, traveled to Greece under extreme secrecy but appears to have enjoyed his dinner in northern Athens.

According to Proto Thema, the known as Dr. House, was having lunch in Kifissia at a well-known restaurant. He was at a table among 20 people.

The patrons who recognised him, approached him and asked for his autograph. Those who asked to be photographed with him, he very politely replied that he is not comfortable with it, avoiding the lens.

James Hugh Calum Laurie is a British actor, writer, musician and director. He is professionally known as Hugh Laurie.

Thanks to the role as the Doctor House, the actor got the Order of the British Empire and two Golden Globes, and most importantly (and most preciously) — the love of millions of viewers around the world.
