  • 'Steve Martin (I)' (qv) calls him his mentor.
  • Son, Carey (b. 1973), with 'Lyn Ashley' (qv).
  • Describes himself as having "creative dyslexia", meaning he can look at any word and automatically see the anagrams that can be made from it. One of the characters he played in "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was a man who speaks only in anagrams.
  • Studied English at Cambridge University. While at university, he was a member of the prestigious Cambridge Footlights Club, and later, President of the Footlights Club.
  • Daughter, Lily (b. 1990), with 'Tania Kosevich' (qv).
  • The only member of Monty Python not to appear on _"Friday Night, Saturday Morning" (1979)_ (qv).
  • Is an accomplished guitar player.
  • Although his picture _An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (1997)_ (qv) was a commercial and critical disappointment, Idle has been asked for 'Alan Smithee' (qv)'s "autograph" in real life...and consented (Smithee was the nonexistent, pseudonymous director whom Idle "portrayed" in said movie).
