10 Most Insane Things Happening In Movies & TV Right Now (Jan 18th)

2. John Cleese Offered To Murder His Mother

John Cleese doesn't really do a great deal in terms of comedy these days. Instead of giving us another series of Fawlty Towers, he seems to spend the majority of his free time on Twitter being all political, much to the dismay of his detractors. Not that he cares, of course.

He did appear on Conan back in 2015 and a video has re-emerged recently in which he talks to the legendary late night host and revealed some choice details of his relationship with his mother.

In conversation with the ginger marvel, Cleese revealed that his mother would call him regularly to tell him she was miserable and after decades of this he casually revealed that he'd offered to have someone kill her to cheer her up. Imagine admitting that and not having the police knock on your door swiftly after. It's one rule for celebrities and another for us normal people who offer to murder people for their own good.
