John Cleese has publicly criticized Piers Morgan for his "sloppy journalism" after Morgan attacked Hugh Grant on social media. The conflict arose when Morgan posted a video of Grant at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, where Grant appeared to ignore Ashley Graham's questions on the red carpet. Morgan accused Grant of being rude, but Cleese defended Grant, suggesting that Morgan's comments were misguided and that Grant's behavior might have been due to nervousness or discomfort with the interview format.
