Monty Python legend John Cleese has found love again - with a friend of his daughter who is 31 years his junior.
The British star endured a bitter divorce battle last year and was ordered to hand his third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger a huge lump of his fortune when they split in August.
Cleese went on to romance Barbie Orr, but ended the relationship after he discovered she had sold her story to the British press.
But during an appearance on U.K. TV series The Graham Norton Show, Cleese, 70, revealed he is now happily dating Jennifer Wade, a 39-year-old pal of his daughter, Camilla.
He says, "I've found someone who is very age inappropriate. Jenny is 39 - making it 31 years' difference - which is a disgrace.
"We've only been together three or four months - but she is the most... playful creature."...

It's enough to make anyone's stiff upper lip quiver.
Famously reserved "Monty Python" star John Cleese has had a messy breakup with a blabbermouth blonde who he claims lied to him about her age and revealed embarrassing details about his hair plugs, "nice package" and intensive anti-aging regimen.
The startling revelations have blindsided Cleese, 69, who's kept a low profile ever since "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988).

John Cleese knew his relationship with Barbie Orr was over when he discovered she was using the media in a desperate bid to "resuscitate" their romance. The Fawlty Towers star began dating Orr during his divorce from his third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger, but they split late last year after three months together.
And Cleese knew he had made the right decision when he later suspected Orr of trying to manipulate the publicity surrounding their love affair.
He tells Hello! magazine, "About two months ago I said to her, 'I think we should just be friends'. We went outside to the car park and she said, 'Can I have a hug?' I thought, 'All right'.
"A few days later the pictures were in the press. I think she knew it was over and was trying to resuscitate it using the media.

John Cleese will never trust his ex-girlfriend again.
The 69-year-old British comic star dumped American comedienne Barbie Orr - who claimed to be 27 but is 45 - last week after she mocked his ageing body, and he now he doesn't want anything more to do with her.
He said: "When you realise someone has treated you like that, you can never trust them again. In the 43 years that I've been well-known in England, this is the first 'kiss and fib' story I've had.
"I never thought she was 27 - she told me she was 35. The point is, if you're unattached and you meet a nice girl who's unattached, I don't think there's anything wrong with having a relationship. But I'm not in one with her."...

John Cleese ended his relationship with girlfriend Barbie Orr in a furious phone call after discovering she had spoken about their love life in a British newspaper. The Fawlty Towers star met Orr at an audition in October while he was in the midst of divorcing his third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
The 69-year-old was left red-faced after the aspiring actress told a U.K. tabloid intimate details about their romance last month, describing the star's naked body and recalling their first sexual encounter.
Cleese ended the relationship by leaving an angry message on her cell phone - and has subsequently ignored all her attempts to contact him.
Orr says, "John called me. He was absolutely furious and he just broke up with me. He doesn't even want to talk about it.
"He said in 43 years of being famous no one had ever done anything like this to him."
And Orr was further devastated when she received a text message from Cleese's daughter, Camilla, warning her to stay away from her father.
Orr adds, "He's upset, I'm upset. It's awful. I am a good, caring person, who does work for charity and looks after animals. I do not deserve this!"...

John Cleese's younger lover was initially reluctant to sleep with the elderly comic - because she wasn't sure what his naked body would look like.
Actress Barbie Orr, 27, met Cleese, 69, at an audition in October while he was in the midst of divorcing his third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
Orr worried she wouldn't be attracted to the Fawlty Towers star in the bedroom - but she was won over because he was a "great kisser".
She says, "I kept picturing him naked. I wondered what someone that old looks like and would I actually sleep with them? For his birthday I was thinking about buying him a Zimmer frame (walking aid)."
And Orr admits that she was surprised Cleese was in such good shape - "for an old guy".
She adds: "You know, they're normally saggy down there, but he has a really nice package. He takes a lot of vitamin supplements and eats really well and he works out. His arms are really muscular and he still has amazing legs.
"He's had his teeth redone and he recently got hair plugs to cover the bald patches at the front."...
