John Cleese has had a hair transplant. The British comic revealed he had undergone the drastic procedure during a candid interview on a U.K. talk show.

The 69-year-old star admitted the treatment after being quizzed on his recent hip replacement.

He said on "Richard and Judy's New Position": "As we're talking operations, since I saw you last I've had a hair transplant."

When asked why he deemed it necessary to choose such an extreme solution to his hair loss, John replied: "Because I have got a very strange shaped head. It's very pointy. And I don't like wearing wigs."

The "Monty Python" star also discussed plans for a movie he is writing based around his ongoing divorce from third wife - psychotherapist Alyce Faye Eichelberger - called "May Divorce Be With You."

The interview is due to be broadcast at 8 p.m. on Watch Friday.

John's bitter divorce could see him lose a $1.8 million New York apartment and a $3.7 million house in Holland Park, London.

His estranged wife is also demanding $1.35 million a year and half his earnings since 1992, claiming she is used to "being entertained by royalty in castles."

John recently said: "I think marriages should be like dog licenses. You should have to renew marriage licenses every five years, unless you have children."
