Hugh Laurie 48, star of TV series House,  has taken up boxing.  Perhaps Hugh is feeling the pressure of his sexiest man title, bestowed by TV Guide. Or whispers of a mid-life crisis circulating in Hollywood after he bought a bright orange vintage Porsche 911.  But apparently it makes him feel good and lifts his spirits.

Laurie, who moved to LA from Britain nearly four years ago to play the drama’s grumpy doctor, has won two Golden Globes for House, but has spoken of the toll of his tough work schedule – and the fact that he so rarely sees his wife Jo, 51, and their three children, who have remained at the family’s London home.  One of the few things which lifts his mood is boxing.

“He goes to a boxing class at least once a week near his home and is by far the oldest in a group of about 12,” said a source.  “He is usually quite morose but cheers up enormously during his boxing sessions.”
