Semi - John Cleese

Forking out more than £25million in divorce settlements across three failed marriages could leave anyone feeling extremely bitter about life. It certainly seems to be the case for Monty Python star John Cleese, who has hit out at his ex-wives for costing him so much money - and prompted him to wish they would all die. They are not the only women to incur his wrath, the star, 77, is not happy with his two daughters either - Camilla and Cynthia Cleese - as they have turned out like their mothers. He complained that he wished he'd never had children. 'I have been married for 34 years. To four different wives,' he said before referring to his second wife Barbara Threntham, who died from complications with leukaemia in 2013, 'One of my ex-wives died. You know what? It was very sad because it was the wrong one.'
