John Cleese, 68, the British comedy actor famous for the classic comedy series ‘Fawty Towers’ has found love with a women half his age, Cleese who is currently going through a extremely expensive divorce with his third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger, who said romance is dead? Not for Cleese instead he whisked 34-year old Veronica Smiley away on a romantic break to the Italian Green Lakes, the couple were said to have met in New York.
The Daily Telegraph quoted Cleese saying “She is certainly a new friend who is definitely a girl, More than that I simply don’t want to disclose because the relationship is in its early stages and we do not know how it will develop”.
It is said that Cleese’s new lover is the vice president of marketing for US satirical political magazine Radar. Cleeses sense of humour has gone down a treat with Smiley as friends have said that she finds the English actor stimulating and extremely funny and charming, and they share a very close and warm friendship.
Cleese travelled with close friend Michael Winner, 72, on a trip through Switzerland and Italy to celebrate his divorce after 16 years of marriage to Eichelberger, and said that Cleese and Smiley are a couple and that she was delightful. Cleese and Winner parted company when they reached Zurich and this is when Cleese continued on with his romantic break with Smiley to Lake Como and Bergamo.
