"Kevin Kline and I killed a man in Denmark": John Cleese's startling admission
John Cleese has made a startling admission on his new video series, The Dinosaur Hour, where he hosts intimate chats from a twelfth-century castle.
The Monty Python actor claimed that he inadvertently killed someone at a screening of his 1988 comedy film A Fish Called Wanda, which co-starred Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis.
“We killed a man … Kevin Kline and I killed a man in Denmark,” Cleese said, according to the Daily Mail.
“He was a dentist, he had a huge laugh. A famous laugh. Very popular. It was in Aarhus, not a big town, but everybody knew him," he added.
“And he went to see Wanda and he started laughing about two minutes in and never stopped.
“They carried him out dead, he’d had a heart attack.”
Cleese is known for his shock factor during TV appearances and interviews.
In July, the The Fawlty Towers actor shut down Waleed Aly's question about the iconic sitcom before poking fun at the The Project star's name.
“We can’t let you go without talking about Fawlty Towers – at least I can’t, because I think it’s one of the greatest shows …” the broadcaster began, before Cleese shut him down.
“I don’t want to talk about Fawlty Towers,” he said.
