Monty Python Stars Reunite For Dinner But Eric Idle Is Absent After Online Spat With John Cleese


Monty Python stars John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, and Michael Palin reunited for Palin's birthday, but Eric Idle appeared to be absent.

Cleese captioned the photo: “An 18 foot Python celebrates Pallin’s 181st Birthday and 195th Travel Book. Eric Idle, who lives in Los Angeles, appeared to be absent from the festivities following his online spat with Cleese and Gilliam earlier this year. Idle blamed mismanagement of the Python brand on Gilliam and his daughter Holly, while writing that it makes him “happy” that he had not seen Cleese in seven years.
