Hugh Laurie is set to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Speaking about today's event on Twitter, he said: "I don't how to say this, or even be, except baldly: I am getting a star on Hollywood Blvd this Tuesday 25th at 11.30 am. (sic)."

And Hugh's friend and co-star Stephen Fry, who made up one half of 'A Bit of Fry & Laurie' comedy duo, will be the guest speaker at the star-studded event.

Hugh - who received the Golden Globe Award for two consecutive years in 2006 and 2007 for his role as Doctor Gregory House in the American series 'House' - has been swamped with praise from comedy writer and producer Simon Blackwell, as well as illusionist Derren Brown.

Simon tweeted: "@hughlaurie Never more deserved. Congratulations. (sic)."

And the 'Derren Brown: Mind Control' star wrote: "@hughlaurie that's excellent news. Congratulations. You will always be the shiniest star on MY Hollywood Boulevard. (sic)."

Meanwhile, Hugh has revealed he doesn't follow a "master plan" and never feels like he has made "clever choices" in his career, because he is regularly plagued by the fear he may "f**k it up".

Speaking previously, he said: "We look at other people's lives and we always assume that other people's lives are planned or the results are inevitable - that of course, they wind up doing such and such thing.

"It feels like a giant game of pinball. I don't have a master plan and it doesn't feel like clever choices. I'm living in a state of perpetual anxiety that I'm going to basically f**k it up."
