John Cleese's autobiography has revealed that he lost his virginity at the age of 24 while touring New Zealand with the Cambridge Circus.

The 74-year-old actor revealed in one of the autobiography's extract that was published in Sunday Times Magazine revealed that it was a very asexual atmosphere where he came from and girls just weren't around, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Cleese's added that when he was teaching at his prep school before going to Cambridge, he took out the local doctor's daughter and they had a perfectly nice, polite conversation but the idea that anything would have happened physically just wasn't on the cards.
