The emergence of creativity in life
Following his childhood habit, the actor tried in everything to comply with the rules of decency of the time and be successful by generally accepted standards. Like the vast majority of citizens, he voted for the conservatives, tried to look good. He was not a drinker or drug addict. In a word, John Cleese led a well-meaning and measured life, set goals and gradually achieved them.
Despite the bureaucratic lifestyle and training in his youth, the sprout of creativity began to grow in him more and more intensively. During his freshman year, his university had a theater company, the Footlights Club, which he eventually became a part of.
There he met many future stage partners. Thus began the path to art. The actor got on the Air Force, then became part of the theater troupe, which was called the "Cambridge Circus". Together they went to explore the expanses of Broadway and New Zealand.
Working in the United States

In 1968 he married American actress Connie Booth. And very soon the project "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was organized. At the moment, almost the whole world knows these shows.
Actor is a destiny given from above
Cleese works as part of a humorous club. Life is amazing and unpredictable, because in his dreams he never had an acting career. He was impressed by painting, archeology, literature, foreign languages. He could learn the verse written by Lermontov in the original language. He recited this work in the work "A Fish Called Wanda".
Monty Python's telecast was invited to the BBC. Then the idea was established in Cleese's mind that acting was a temporary job for him. So more than one season passed, and it became extremely clear that the project would function for a long time, but John would be part of it. Cleese played the role of a crazy gentleman and was one of the brightest parts of this show. English TV viewers were delighted with the charismatic comedian.
Working in movies
With the advent of the 70s, John changes his life againCleese. His filmography begins with pictures about "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". Next up is Monty Python: The Life of Brian and Monty Python: The Meaning of Life. Today we rank these wonderful pictures among the classics that grace the comedy genre.
When the mid-80s came, the team was overtaken by a sudden collapse. There was a death of Graham Chapman, who was the founder of the troupe. The union did not restore its joint activities anymore. The actors scattered in all directions, each in his own direction.
Also managed to star in his career in the series "F alty Towers" John Cleese.
Talented Artist Awards
The picture "A Fish Called Wanda" added to the list of wonderful films released in 1988 and graced the comedy genre. At this moment, the solo career of a talented artist was at its peak. He received an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay.
He gets the award that the British Film Academy awarded for the title of best actor. For the same film, an award was received in the form of the Italian "David". This was followed by participation in the film "Fierce Creatures". But this work did not overshadow Rybka.
Everyone watched films about the smart and brave superspy James Bond. It was the hero of Cleese who helped the hero in terms of "technical gadgets", being the brain of almost every operation. John replaced 85-year-old Desmond Llewelyn, who played this character before. It was not the last role in a good and popular series of films, butby which he was recognized.

No less famous than "James Bond" is a series of films about the young wizard Harry Potter. There Cleese managed to play at least a small, but to match his interesting role of the ghost of Nearly Headless Nick. This image also worked out very well for him.
Apt and witty sayings
I was never afraid to express my opinion regarding certain phenomena occurring in the world around us, John Cleese. The level of security has been commented on by him. He noted that earlier the degree of protection regarding the events in Syria in the UK was at the “offended” mark, but now it has moved to the “irritated” stage.
According to the actor, soon the state of affairs can be characterized by the word "nervous" or "slightly angry." The situation knocks England out of its usual state of rest. He also said that the Scots had reached the point where "you need to fill the faces of these persons." This is not surprising, given that Scottish soldiers have filled the front lines of the British forces for the past three hundred years. The French have moved from fleeing to hiding, but they can still cooperate with the enemy or surrender.
French soldiers, according to him, tend to retreat and cowardly, so in connection with the destruction of the factory that makes white flags, the army itself was destroyed. As for the Italians, they moved from loud and excited screams to imitation of the presencetroops. But they may also engage in useless military activity or switch sides. He also traveled to a number of other European countries. This man is thoughtful and sharp-tongued.
In the future, the actor is also going to please us with his acting in films.
