Hugh Laurie And Friends Made Pact To Commit Suicide By 40

This is the stupidest thing I've read all year (and believe me, I've read my share of stupid things). Hugh Laurie planned to kill himself before he turned 40... and so did a bunch of his friends. 

WHY?!

The ‘House’ actor – who celebrates his 50th birthday in a few weeks time –
and his school friends made a pact to take their own lives because they
thought they would have achieved everything by that age. 

“I remember I made a pact with some friends when we were 18 that
we’d kill ourselves before we got to 40. It just seemed such a ludicrously
distant prospect. I think I’d say that you’ll never think you know more or
feel more acutely or have any clearer an insight into existence than you do
right now.”

Despite failing to go through with the suicide pact, Hugh admits his life
hasn’t turned out the way he thought it would.
He added to Britain’s Seven magazine:

“From now on it’s a gradually
descending mist of confusion and doubt. I’ve never known less than I know
now. You hope that your teenage self would like and forgive your 50-year-old
self. It would be awful to think that they’d be ashamed and appalled – that
you were a betrayal of everything they thought they’d become.”

That could be a movie if you thought about it. A pact was made and one person didn't do it. Then the hauntings begin... :)

Better than all these remakes!
