The "House" docs talk bromance...

I don't watch "House" but I've just read the new TV Guide cover story on the show's odd couple, Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard. The mag writes that it wasn't umtil a woman got between them last season that we realized how big a man crush Dr. Gregory House (Laurie) has on his colleague Dr. James Wilson (Leonard).

Here are some portions from the piece described as a man-to-man-to-magazine chat.

Q. Gentlemen, can this bromance be saved?
Leonard: (Groans loudly) Is everyone obsessed with homosexuality?
Q. Wait, we weren't suggesting...
Laurie: No, no, let's talk about it. Wilson and House have an unusual relationship so you have to explore all the angles. It's not simple buddydom. House and Wilson clearly care about each other and even House has joked about it [House once blurted to former girlfriend Stacy (Sela Ward) that being gay would explain a lot about his own behavior: "No girlfriend, always with Wilson, the obsession with sneakers..."} But no, I don't think they're..."
Leonard: "Thank you. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Then Laurie thoughtfully talks about the bromance:
"...What we're seeing this season is vulnerable House really is. I think it's fascinating to watch House pursuing Wilson. He needs him, and I suppose he's revealed himself more than ever this year because he's so needy...One thing House needs Wilson for is vanity. He needs someone to laugh at his jokes. If a tree falls in the forest and Wilson doesn't hear it, does it stll make noise?
