John Cleese has admitted he hates posing for selfies.
The comedy legend gets asked to do them by fans whenever he’s out and about. And every time, he’s secretly irritated just like his Fawlty Towers character Basil.
He told the Daily Star: “I don’t like selfies. For people of my generation, having a selfie suggests that you have a relationship with them.

“But in fact, it’s just the three seconds before it that they said, ‘Can I have a selfie?’.”
John was mobbed by fans when he attended the opening night of a new stage version of Fawlty Towers in London on Thursday. The show has had rave reviews from critics and is now almost sold out for the rest of the month.
