Comedy legend John Cleese has confessed: "I can't do the silly walk any more."
Cleese used the routine in a number of Monty Python sketches.
But the star, 66, said: "I can't do it because I've had a hip replacement - probably because I did so much of it. I don't know how I even managed in the first place."
Cleese also had viewers in stitches when he mocked German hotel guests with a high-kicking goosestep in TV's Fawlty Towers.
And animal lover Cleese, who performed the classic Dead Parrot sketch with Monty Python, revealed he can't stand the birds.
He said: "No, we don't have a parrot. The reason is I hate the bastards."
Cleese recently announced his retirement and is planning to write a book on the history of comedy.
He is also becoming a "comedy professor" and will be teaching students how to be funny.
