Hugh Laurie siblings: Meet Charles Alexander Lyon Mundell Laurie, Janet Laurie, Susan Laurie
Hugh Laurie was born on June 11, 1959, in the Blackbird Leys area of Oxford, as the youngest of four children of Patricia and William George Ranald Mundell “Ran” Laurie.
His father was a physician, Olympic rowing champion, and gold medallist who passed away from Parkinson’s disease at the age of 83. Laurie had a good relationship with his father, whom he has called “the sweetest man in the whole world”.
His relationship with his mother, on the other hand, was strained. He referred to her as “Presbyterian by character, by mood”. She passed away from motor neuron disease in 1989, at the age of 73.
Laurie has two older sisters named Susan and Janet, and an older brother, Charles Alexander Lyon Mundell Laurie.
