Terry Gilliam: 'Buggered up' Monty Python star ‘depressed’ over Donald Trump and Brexit


Terry Gilliam, 78, was born in the Minnesota, United States but moved to the United Kingdom in 1965.

The star now lives in North London with his wife of 46 years, make-up designer Maggie Watson, and they share three children together.

Terry renounced his US citizenship back in 2006 and admitted it was one of the “best things” he had done.

Speaking in the latest issue of Radio Times, the star joked he has “no responsibly for Donald Trump’s entrance into the world”.

When asked about what he thinks of the President’s re-election campaign, he revealed: “It makes me cringe. I’m almost terminally depressed because of the existence of Donald Trump and his nonsense… and Brexit.

“I mean, both countries are completely buggered up, is all I can say.”

Terry also isn’t a fan of Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and called him a “clown”.

Addressing the Conservative Party leader, he said: “At least a clown is leading!

“So we’re getting to the raving loony party… we’re almost there now. The Tories are very close.”

Terry was part of Monty Python alongside Graham Chapman, who died in 1989 aged 48, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.

One of Terry’s co-stars, John Cleese, hit the headlines back in May.

The Fawlty Towers star sparked a Twitter storm with his controversial opinion about London.

In view of his 5.6 million followers, he wrote: “Some years ago I opined that London was not really an English city any more.

“Since then, virtually all my friends from abroad have confirmed my observation. I note also that London was the UK city that voted most strongly to remain in the EU.”

Many Twitter users hit back at the star for his comment, prompting the actor to respond.

He wrote: “It might interest those people who seem to think my remarks about London are racist as opposed to culturalist, to consider that what I like about spending time in Nevis.

“Nevis has excellent race relations, a very well educated population, no sign of political correctness.”

He added: “No sign of Rupert Murdoch, conscientious lawyers, a relaxed and humorous life style, a deep love of cricket, and a complete lack of knife crime.

“And, of course, wonderful weather and the icing on the cake is that Nevis is not the world centre for Russian dirty money laundering.”

The latest issue of Radio Times is out now.
