Monty Python veteran John Cleese is mocking fellow actor Hank Azaria over his apology for voicing the role of Apu on Fox’s
The Simpsons. In a sarcastic gesture, Cleese offered his own apology for making fun of “white English people” in numerous Monty Python sketches.
John Cleese tweeted his pretend apology Tuesday, just days after Hank Azaria said during a podcast interview that he feels the need “to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize” for playing Apu, the show’s Kwik-E Mart proprietor who hails from India.
In response, Cleese expressed sorrow “for any distress we [Monty Python] may have caused” for mocking English people.
