John Cleese declares he’s complaining to BBC after ‘deceptive' interview

John Cleese has said he is putting in a formal complaint about the ‘deception, dishonesty and tone’ of a recent interview he gave to the BBC.star claimed the interviewer had tried to portray him as ‘old-fashioned, uncaring and basically harmful’ and had not discussed the agreed-on topics.‘I just did an interview with BBC World Asia. It was to talk about the shows I’m doing in Singapore and Bangkok,’ he wrote in a Twitter thread.

‘I replied courteously and in full I explained that if parents were over protective, it did not prepare children well when they entered the real and often not-very-nice world. I just did an interview with BBC World Asia. It was to talk about the shows I’m doing in Singapore and BangkokCancel Culture. I replied courteously and in full …did not prepare children well when they entered the real and often not-very-nice world. She then asked a disjointed question, clearly trying to portray me as old-fashioned, uncaring and basically harmful..

He continued: ‘The media will no doubt report that I “stormed out.” I didn’t. Nor did I lose my temper.

Do you really want to pick This-Is-Not-the-Softball-Interview-I-Was-Promised Hill to die on, JohnCleese? If I were your age with your level of success, I promise I would give ZERO f*cks about how any interview goes. Why so fragile?

That’s accurate yes

Why did John trust the BBC to do the interview at all?

'i am absolutely shocked and dismayed, and will be seeking legal repercussions forthwith, that they had the absolute monstrous gall to cast me in such a truthful light.'

For a man who claims to be anti-woke he's extremely sensitive when asked a simple question & claims to be anti-cancel culture yet walked out of an interview!
