Hugh Laurie thought he was losing his mind performing in a play.
The House star admits he was driven to despair after appearing in the West End production of Gasping in the 1990s.
And the British actor has now vowed never to return to the stage.
“I couldn’t do it again,” he said. “I actually started to have out-of-body experiences and it was really very frightening.
“I would sort of lean my body and float around the upper circle and sit next to people and eat their crisps. It was really strange.
“It was actually quite frightening. I really did think I was losing my mind. I just thought this is what stage actors do — this is something you have to go through. It isn’t normal — it can’t be normal.”
