John Cleese at St Andrews ready for a drive around with a piglet
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this charming photo print, we see the legendary John Cleese, renowned actor and comedian, embracing his mischievous side as he prepares for an unforgettable adventure. Taken in 1971 during his tenure as rector of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, this snapshot captures a delightful moment that showcases Cleese's playful spirit. With an infectious smile on his face, Cleese stands beside a vintage car, exuding excitement and anticipation. But what truly steals the spotlight is the adorable eight-week-old piglet nestled comfortably on the driver's seat next to him. A gift from David Steel and Ronald Sanderson on behalf of the Porker Club, this little porcine companion adds an unexpected twist to Cleese's day. As one of Britain's most beloved entertainers, known for his iconic roles in Monty Python and Fawlty Towers among others, it is no surprise that even mundane activities like going for a drive become extraordinary when John Cleese is involved. This candid image not only captures his comedic genius but also reveals his genuine love for animals. Decades later, this photograph remains a testament to both Cleese's enduring popularity and his unique ability to bring laughter into every aspect of life. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when humor had no boundaries and joy could be found in unexpected encounters – even with a piglet by your side.
