Cleese’s morbid birthday request

John Cleese stunned his fans after revealing he is thinking of killing himself on his 70th birthday.

The funnyman made the morbid comment on his Twitter site.

He 'Twittered', "I'm still deciding whether to kill myself on my birthday, and might take a vote on it. (No press allowed.)

The Fish Called Wanda star, whose birthday is on October 27, is about to embark on a one man show around America entitled A Final Wave at the World... or the Alimony Tour Year One.

The title is a reference to his £12 million settlement he reached with his wife of 16 years, Alyce Eichelberger.

Cleese recently said, "In my 70th year I will still be spending two months a year doing work that is of no interest to me and which is probably slightly spiritually depleting in order to feed the beast."
