OSLO — Monty Python comedian John Cleese looked on the bright side of life and opted for a day-long cab ride halfway across Europe after the dust plume from an Icelandic volcano left the British actor stranded.
Cleese paid $5,100 for a Mercedes taxi from the Norwegian capital to Brussels on Friday, said Kjetil Kristoffersen, the managing director of Publicom, his agent in Norway. Cleese had visited Oslo to participate in the talk show “Skavlan.” The cabdriver who agreed to the 932-mile tour is a childhood friend of Kristoffersen’s, the agent said.
