In the 2000s, he first starred in the films Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows, Stuart Little 2, Flight of the Phoenix, and Street Kings.

Hugh Laurie keeps in shape by alloting some time for workouts despite his crazy schedule. He exercises by boxing and sparring, which he does with an instructor once or twice a week. “It’s good for the soul,” said the actor. He also stays in shape by rowing, which he has been doing for decades. The actor rowed at school and university. Even as an actor, he continues to incorporate the sport into his lifestyle.
