John Cleese is dating a woman half his age.
The 68-year-old comedy legend has struck up a friendship with marketing executive Veronica Smiley, 34, and the pair have already enjoyed a romantic holiday in Italy together.
John said: "Veronica is incredibly bright. I never thought I would be interested in somebody in marketing but she is so cute."
However, John is concerned about having a long distance relationship as he lives in London while Veronica is based in Chicago.
He said: "I am not sure when we'll be seeing each other again. Unfortunately we are living apart."
The couple met at a "power breakfast" in New York.
Veronica said: "At the moment it is a very close, very warm friendship. He is twice my age. He is very stimulating and extremely funny and charming."
