Throughout watching The Aristocrats, I thought it sortof odd that they dug up all this footage of a young John Cleese commenting on the joke the documentary was about. Well, it turns out that’s because it wasn’t John Cleese. It was Billy Connelly. Seriously, this guy must be Cleese’s lost love child:
More pictures here, here, here, etc. I am not crazy! It’s uncanny!
Man, you two were pissing me off saying “NO THAT WAS JOHN CLEESE!” And I said “NO THAT IS BILLY SOMEBODY!” Assholes.
Billy Connelly is a fucking god-king hero. He is one of the most hilarious comedians I have ever encountered.
Yes! I’m glad someone else thought of the the Cleese/Connelly connection. Speaking of look-a-like celebs, check out Will Ferrel and the drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers…
Billy connelly has been a favorite of mine for many years Iused to really enjoy listening to his records and tapes and I especially enjoyed watching his film the man who sued god lets have more of the same
Are you joking? For a start they are about the same age. For a second, one of them is Scottish with a Glaswegian accent, the other posh English. That’s like mistaking a Canadian with a Mexican. Plus, since when did John Cleese ever have long flowing hair. The only thing they have in common is height.
I know its been 5 years but…. AND FACIAL FEATURES, ANDY!!!
Thanks! Your comment has been submitted and will appear shortly.
Yeah, I’d noticed that before when Connelly was on the Jon Stewart show. I theorize it’s why Connelly keeps his hair crazy.
