HIS latest role is as the voice of a streetwise animated cat in The Amazing Maurice. But Hugh Laurie had a bit of a hangdog expression as he took his pet pooch for a walk.

As the 63-year-old actor strolled around his north London neighbourh­ood in a red woolly hat and padded jacket, his grimace seemed more in keeping with the curmudgeon­ly Dr Gregory House, his character in the US television drama House.

Already known in the UK for his performanc­es with Stephen Fry, Laurie gained worldwide fame playing the grumpy medic from 2004 to 2012.
