The 76 year old Monty Python star is apparently currently in Australia to do a show.
He has been quoted as saying:
‘I would like to be cancelled so I can go home and read a book and not have to make an arse of myself all over the world,’ Idle joked in The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday.
‘You have to remember that Python was offensive when it started. We were not the cuddly old fuckers we are now,’ he told the publication.
‘It was very offensive. The point was absolutely to upset and insult the bourgeois.’
