John Cleese, 74, is “looking forward” to dying within five or six years.

The actor says he won’t start writing another film because he will pass away before he finishes the project, but admits he will be in “excellent company” when he does finally meet his maker.

When asked if he will pen another movie, he replied: “No, it is too much like hard work. It is two-and-three-quarter years and I am too old for that process. If I started on it now I would die.

“I’ve only got five or six years left and I’ll be gone – I won’t have to worry about Isis or Ebola, I am looking forward to it. Most of the best people are dead. I will be in excellent company having a wonderful time.” - BANG Showbiz
