JOHN CLEESE AND JENNIFER WADE – 7 YEARS
Actor-screenwriter John Cleese’s rise to fame was inevitably tied to his first wife, Connie Booth, who co-wrote Fawlty Towers, the popular sitcom that gave Cleese his ticket to fame, along with him. Cleese also starred in the lead role of the show as Basil Fawlty. He has appeared in several high-profile performances since then, including Harry Potter, Silverado, James Bond, Time Bandits, and more.
Unknown to many, John Cleese actually went to school to become a lawyer and completed his degree in 1963, but he set a promising career aside to pursue his passion for acting. Thank the stars that everything worked out the way it did! Cleese and Booth have separated since and he has married English jewelry designer and former model Jennifer Wade in 2012. Their marriage has been going strong for 8 years – and counting!
