John Cleese is in love with Barbie

London, Nov 21 : Funny man John Cleese seems to be smitten by a blonde beauty called Barbie.

'The Fawlty Towers' star has been spotted sharing romantic dates with American comedienne Barbie Orr, 27.

On Nov 20, the 69-year-old comedian, who has already been married thrice, was seen hugging and holding hands with Barbie, who is of the age of being his granddaughter.

The couple met up at the exclusive Loews Hotel in Santa Monica, US.

Wearing a tight pink top and jeans, Barbie was seen waiting for Cleese in the lobby and the star, who played manic hotel boss Basil Fawlty, greeted her with a kiss. They later enjoyed dinner in the hotel restaurant.

"They were enjoying each others' company immensely," The Sun quoted a source as saying.

The source added: "Cleese's booming voice turned everyone's head. His date couldn't stop laughing at him pulling funny faces. They were touching and nuzzling each other. He seemed very happy."

Then, the couple went for a stroll nearby.
