‘Monty Python’ star: No, I won’t cut ‘Life of Brian’ scene critics have hit as transphobic for stage version
Cleese claimed no one from British media contacted him to clarify his statements before reporting them
"Monty Python" star and British comedy legend John Cleese has lashed out at the press in recent days for allegedly reporting that he will be removing a politically incorrect scene from future adaptations of his movie "Life of Brian" to avoiding offending the trans community.
In recent statements on Twitter, Cleese claimed that a reporter had "misreported me" when claiming the entertainer was planning to cut the famous "Loretta" scene for an upcoming stage adaptation of the classic religious satire film.
He added, "So here you have something there's never been a complaint about in 40 years, that I've heard of, and now all of a sudden we can't do it because it'll offend people. What is one supposed to make of that?"
Cleese also clarified he would not be cutting out the musical number "Always Look on The Bright Side of Life," as was reported as well.
