Monty Python icon John Cleese, 85, has reportedly encountered surprising financial difficulties while attempting to buy a new property in Bath with his fourth wife, Chelsea.
The comedy legend, known for his roles in Fawlty Towers and Life of Brian, is said to be struggling to secure a home in the picturesque city, despite his long-standing career in entertainment.
Unexpected Financial Hurdles
Sources close to Cleese reveal that the actor and writer has faced unexpected challenges in funding the purchase, leaving many fans shocked given his successful career spanning decades.
"It's surprising to see someone of John's stature facing these issues," an insider commented. "He's always been financially savvy, but the current property market seems to have caught him off guard."
Bath's Competitive Housing Market
The historic city of Bath, renowned for its Georgian architecture and Roman baths, has become increasingly competitive in recent years, with property prices soaring beyond many buyers' expectations.
Cleese's situation highlights the growing challenges even high-profile individuals face when entering the UK's turbulent housing market.
A New Chapter with Wife Chelsea
The 85-year-old comedian married his fourth wife, Chelsea, in 2020, and the couple had been hoping to settle in Bath as they begin this new chapter of their lives together.
Fans of the comedy legend are left wondering how this financial setback might affect Cleese's future plans and whether alternative arrangements will need to be made.
