Eric Idle is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation.
Popular comedian-actor-author-singer Eric Idle (Monty Python's Flying Circus, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Idle, a cultural icon
Born in South Shields on March 29, 1943, Eric Idle's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Idle's not just a great comedian, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Eric hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Eric Idle as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.
Happy Birthday, Eric, you're the best!
