As Stephen Fry recounted in his elaborate Men Of The Year awards encomium, Elvis Costello once said that Hugh Laurie might be "a better musician than he is an actor - and that's saying something." To celebrate his exclusive GQ Men Of The Year shoot in the new issue of GQ, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the stylish black tie shoot of Laurie on location at London's Portland Place.
Filmed and edited by Joshua Lawrence.
