John Cleese is going deaf

John Cleese is becoming "increasingly deaf".
The 78-year-old actor has revealed that he’s losing his ability to hear, but rather than thinking of the condition as a "burden", he is finding it "liberating", as he no longer has to listen to things that don’t interest him.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the ‘Monty Python’ star said: "[I’m going] increasingly deaf. [It’s not a] burden. On the contrary, I find it quite liberating. I smile and nod and point at my ears, and am thus released from the duty of taking notice of all the rubbish directed at me."
John is no doubt happy that he’ll no longer have to listen to what he described as "dreadful lies" told by politicians in the wake of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union (EU), after he hit out at the "awful" move earlier this year.
The ‘Fawlty Towers’ star said he was planning on moving to the Caribbean island of Nevis as early as this November, after being left "so disappointed" with the politicians in Britain.
He said in July: "I actually am leaving. I’m making arrangements now. I am so disappointed with so much about this country at the moment.
"It was awful. Dreadful lies on the right about all the money going into the national services and the usual thing, the scare tactics from Cameron and Osborne. Nobody said it is very complicated. Why is everyone so passionate when they can’t possibly know what the outcome is?
"I don’t like it, I don’t trust it. I don’t trust the bankers!"
Meanwhile, John’s hearing loss comes after he claimed in September last year that he thinks he’ll "die soon".
He said: "I’ve forgotten how old I am. It’s very nice being this old, because when you’re this old you’re going to die soon, so you don’t give a f**k, you see?
"I’m not afraid of death. I mean, I was thinking about it a lot because you do as you get older. And I thought, ‘Well, most of the best people are dead.’
"And there are an awful lot of really awful people still alive. And most of them are in charge!"
