John Cleese is celebrating his 85th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-comedian-author John Cleese (Harry Potter, A Fish Called Wanda, Monty Python's Flying Circus, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 85th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Cleese, a cultural icon
Born John Marwood Cleese in Somerset on October 27, 1939, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Cleese's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little John hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for John Cleese as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 85.
Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
