The 57-year-old British actor (and, let’s not forget, accomplished blues musician) will be presented the honour on the famous Hollywood Boulevard 7.30pm our time. Guest speaker: Laurie’s long-time creative partner Stephen Fry, of course.

Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Sir Ridley Scott and Dame Helen Mirren will also be there to celebrate the unveiling of the 2,593rd Hollywood star.

And celebrities who won’t be there were also quick to congratulate Laurie…
