Even celebrities can have Airbnb issues, it seems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When actor John Cleese took to Twitter to lament an issue that left him without a rental in Huntsville, close to 900 people replied, many offering suggestions or places to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Does anyone in Huntsville, Ontario have a nice place I can rent to live in while I make a film Airbnb took our money but now say they’ve given our house to someone else (Why did they take the money, then ?)” he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbnb was quick to reply, writing “Hi John, we’re very sorry to hear about this and want to help you get this sorted,” but in the meantime he’s had a slew of other options offered up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the first to respond was local resort Cedar Grove Lodge, tweeting that they had a place for him to stay, adding “We would LOVE to host a new faulty towers reboot!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others offered up private cottages or suggested other local resorts, and some even put in plugs for bit parts in the movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wait … you’re making a movie in Huntsville???? Do you need any extras? Im a super silly walker …” wrote Twitter user Joy Will Do! in reference to “The Ministry of Silly Walks” sketch from Cleese’s Monty Python’s Flying Circus<\/em> days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cleese didn’t divulge what project he’ll be working on, or where it’s being filmed, but entertainment website IMDb notes that he is cast as Harry Hannigan in Cut the Painter<\/em>, a film that is currently in pre-production. The plot summary reads: “When reclusive writer Harry Hannigan begins his retirement unannounced in a very large house in a very small Canadian town, he’s greeted by the arrival of his former writing partner Jack. A man who’s on the run from his family after receiving a terminal diagnosis. With nowhere else to stay, Harry begrudgingly agrees to take him in. An act of grace that doesn’t come easily for him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movie is scheduled for release in Canada in September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleese thanked the many respondents for their replies. “So many helpful suggestions ! We’ll follow them up Thanks, Ontarians!!”<\/p>\n\n\n
