Monty Python star John Cleese is celebrating a major milestone — he celebrates his 86th birthday today!
While British comedy legend has admitted that growing older can be difficult, especially when it comes to losing friends, he once revealed that he's doing everything he can to continue feeling young.
In an interview with Saga magazine, Cleese shared that he's been receiving stem cell therapy for the past two decades to help him feel his best. Every 12 to 18 months, Cleese undergoes the treatment which "promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives," per Mayo Clinic.

"These cells travel around the body and when they discover a place that needs repair, they'll then change into the cells that you want for that repair, so they might become cartilage cells or liver cells. So I think that’s why I don’t look bad for 84," Cleese explained to Saga at the time.
The treatment comes at a pretty high price point and can cost around £17,000, according to Saga, which is equivalent to around $22,600.
"But if you're buying yourself a few extra years, I think it's worth it," Cleese shared.
Although Cleese is in his 80s, he's also shared that he has no plans of slowing down. Earlier this year, he admitted that he planned to keep working as a long as possible in order to financially support himself. Cleese explained that several of his divorces had been costly, making it hard for him to retire.
"The third wife got two properties, one was in London and one was in New York, and we had to sell the other three," he told The Times, adding, "What’s the difference between a famous singer and a famous comedian? About $200 million…If you lose your nest egg at 70 then there's not much alternative [to constantly working]. I could have married somebody rich."
As of right now, Cleese has several projects in the works, per his IMDb, including the films Cut the Painter and Wedding of the Year.
