Eric Idle, 80, exposes Monty Python money rift and says he's now forced to 'work for a living' despite his major TV success
The comedian, 80, is the co-creator of the iconic programme, and starred in its various spin-off films including Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life.
Idle distanced himself from the project after sharing a tweet from the British Comedy Guide which read: 'The stage show version of Monty Python's Life Of Brian will be launched in London in 2024, John Cleese has confirmed. Last week it was reported that Cleese and Idle, who recently overcame pancreatic cancer, had been 'workshopping new scenes and plotlines for a blockbuster stage show'. Cleese, who has joined GB News, has spoken openly against 'cancel culture' in recent years - a contrast to Idle who revealed he struggles to be 'sympathetic' towards those who complain when their jokes are not received well.
